We are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our property in Coombe Warren and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Coombe Warren conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the purchasers instructed a web based conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Coombe Warren. We have lived in Coombe Warren for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to obtain confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You should 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 sickness)
Have completed on a a detached house in Coombe Warren , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to record my ownership? My Coombe Warren conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be sure the land registry aspects are concluded.
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Coombe Warren registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can adjust subject to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry communicate with any 3rd persons or bodies. Currently approximately three quarters of such applications are fully addressed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be extensive hold-ups. Historically registration occurs after the purchaser is living at the premises so an expedited registration is not always an essential issue yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer must contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and identified one near me in Coombe Warren I like with a park and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Coombe Warren in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be problematic. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you can request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.

Developers have put forward a conveyancer and I've sought a quote from them. It's almost £300 less expensive than my family Coombe Warren conveyancing practitioner. Should I use them?
Developers normally have panels of solicitors who expedite matters and who know the seller’s documentation and property lawyer. Plenty of developers offer an incentive to choose their approved solicitor for this reason, any increased cost can be avoided and a developer won't recommend a conveyancing warehouse and run the risk of having the transaction delayed when they need an exchange inside a month. The argument for not agreeing to use the suggested solicitor is that they may be hesitant to 'push' your interests for fear of upsetting the developer. If you worry that this may be the case you should remain with your local Coombe Warren conveyancer.
