We are intent on selling our house in Woodford Green and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. Any high street Woodford Green lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers instructed a factory type conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Woodford Green. Having lived in Woodford Green for 4 years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to get clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm already. What do they say? 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 ailment)
I own a terraced Victorian house in Woodford Green. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and Leeds Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold under the exact same property. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?
You need to assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Woodford Green and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also question the position with the conveyancing solicitor who carried out the work.
I am buying a new build house in Woodford Green with the aid of help to buy. The sellers refused to move on the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The house builders rep told me not to tell my solicitor about this extras as it could adversely affect my mortgage with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer 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.
