My wife and I are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our home in Brent Park and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any local conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the purchasers are using a factory type conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Brent Park. Having lived in Brent Park for many years we know that this is a non issue. Do we contact our local Authority to seek clarification need.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor already. 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)

I have recentlyfound out that Arc property Solicitors have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Brent Park for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 12 months ago. How can I check that my home is not still registered in the name of the previous owner?

The quickest way to check if the property is registered to you, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Brent Park conveyancing specialists.

I'm buying a new build house in Brent Park with a loan from Santander. The developers refused to budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The estate agent told me not inform my lawyer about this extras as it could affect my loan with Santander. Should I keep quiet?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
