A high street Elm Park lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers are using a national conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Elm Park. We have lived in Elm Park for many years we know of no issue. Do we contact our local Authority to seek confirmation need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor already. What do they say? You must enquire of your lawyer before you do anything.
