My partner and I are selling our property in Hendon and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. A local lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers used a nationwide conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Hendon. Having lived in Hendon for six years we know that this is a non issue. Do we contact our local Authority to obtain confirmation need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer already. Are they able to advise? You must enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same illness)
I decided to have a survey done on a property in Hendon before retaining conveyancers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold element to the house. The surveyor has said that some banks tend refuse to grant a loan on such a house.

I'm refinancing my current house to a BTL loan with Nationwide Building Society and I will use the rest of the raised equity as a down payment on further house. The neighborhood we are interested in is Hendon. Will your conveyancers be able to act for both sets of banks and link together the two deals?
Do use our search tool on this page to check that the lawyers are approved by both banks. On the basis that they are the solicitor should be able to simultaneously deal with the two conveyancing matters but you should have a chat with you lawyer and make apparent your desired outcome and requirements.

As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
My lawyers in Hendon have advised me that no longer have my conveyancing file. To assist with my purchase I took out a mortgage with the mortgage company. Is it case that being on the mortgage company conveyancing panel they need to have retained the file for a number of years?
It very much depends from lender to lender but many of the Terms and Conditions of Conveyancing Panel Appointment require the file to be held for a period of 6 years. That being said we have not seen a copy of the mortgage company Conveyancing Panel Terms. It might be worth you contacting the lender directly.
