My partner and I are downsizing from our house in East Ham and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. A high street East Ham conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the purchasers instructed a web based conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in East Ham. We have lived in East Ham for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with local Authority to seek clarification that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm already. Are they able to advise? You must 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 health insurance to cover that same ailment)
I have recentlydiscovered that Arc property Solicitors have closed. They carried out my conveyancing in East Ham for a purchase of a leasehold flat 9 months ago. How can I establish that the property is not still registered in the name of the former proprietor?
The quickest method to see if the property is in your name, 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 East Ham conveyancing specialists.
