I am downsizing from our home in Hanwell and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being 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 a national conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Hanwell. We have lived in Hanwell for six years we know that this is a non issue. Do we contact our local Authority to seek clarification need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor already. 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 sickness)
How does conveyancing in Hanwell differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Hanwell approach us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because developers in Hanwell tend to buy 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 conveyancers 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 Hanwell or who has acted in the same development.

Frank (my husband) and I may need to sub-let our Hanwell basement flat temporarily due to a new job. We used a Hanwell conveyancing firm in 2002 but they have since shut and we did not think at the time seek any advice as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?
Notwithstanding that your previous Hanwell conveyancing lawyer is no longer around you can check your lease to see if you are permitted to let out the apartment. The rule is that if the deeds are non-specific, subletting is allowed. There may be a precondition that you need to obtain consent from your landlord or some other party in advance of subletting. This means that you cannot sublet in the absence of prior permission. Such consent should not be unreasonably turned down. If your lease does not allow you to sublet you will need to ask your landlord for their consent.
