My partner and I are intent on selling our property in East Acton and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. A high street East Acton lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers instructed an internet conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in East Acton. Having lived in East Acton for many years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to obtain clarification that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. What do they say? You need to 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 life insurance to cover that same ailment)
How does conveyancing in East Acton differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in East Acton come to us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is completed. This is because house builders in East Acton typically acquire the land, 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in East Acton or who has acted in the same development.
