My partner and I are selling our property in Curdworth and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. A local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the purchasers are using a national conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Curdworth. We have lived in Curdworth for 4 years we know of no issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to obtain clarification that the buyers are looking for.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? 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 health insurance to cover that same ailment)

I purchased my apartment on 6 October and the transaction details is not yet on the land registry website. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Curdworth advises it would be recorded in less than a month. Are titles in Curdworth particularly slow to register?

There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Curdworth registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can adjust subject to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry communicate with any third parties. At present roughly three quarters of submission are fully dealt with within two weeks but some can be subject to extensive hold-ups. Registration is effected once the purchaser has moved in to the premises thus post completion formalities is not always top priority but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.

I opted to have a survey completed on a property in Curdworth before instructing conveyancers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. Our surveyor has said that some banks will refuse to issue a mortgage on such a house.
