My partner and I are downsizing from our property in Enfield Town and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Enfield Town conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers instructed a web based conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Enfield Town. We have lived in Enfield Town for 4 years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to obtain clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. What do they say? 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 life insurance to cover that same sickness)
How does conveyancing in Enfield Town differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Enfield Town come to us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is built. This is because house builders in Enfield Town usually buy the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Enfield Town or who has acted in the same development.
Why is New Build conveyancing in Enfield Town more costly?
Buying a brand new home is significantly distinct from the normal house buying conveyancing in Enfield Town. Firstly developers ordinarily demand contracts to exchange inside a short timeframe, so there is a a great deal of pressure on your conveyancing practitioner to ensure everything is in order. In addition new build conveyancing often involve examination of adoption of highways, drains, planning considerations, building warranties or architects certificates. Mortgage lender obligations are also more demanding. Taking into account the complex nature of the process for these types of properties, the conveyancing new build fees are higher than normal.
