I am intent on selling our property in Beckton and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any local lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers instructed an online conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Beckton. We have lived in Beckton for 4 years we know that this is a non issue. Do we contact our local Authority to obtain clarification need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. What do they say? You must check with 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 life insurance to cover that same ailment)
How does conveyancing in Beckton differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Beckton contact us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because developers in Beckton tend to purchase the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Beckton or who has acted in the same development.
