My partner and I are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our house in Barons Court and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. A local conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers instructed a nationwide conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Barons Court. Having lived in Barons Court for 4 years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to seek confirmation that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You need to 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 sickness)
I'm purchasing a new build house in Barons Court with a mortgage from Chelsea Building Society. The developers would not budge the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The sale representative advised me not reveal to my lawyer about this side-deal as it could impact my loan with Chelsea Building Society. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
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.
I need to find a conveyancing solicitor for remortgage conveyancing in Barons Court. I happened to discover a web site which looks to be the ideal offering If there is a chance to get all formalities done via web that would be ideal. Should I be wary? What are the potential pitfalls?

I’m about to sell my 2 bed apartment in Barons Court. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, but I have just received a half-yearly service charge demand – what should I do?
Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should pay the service charge as usual because all rents and maintenance charges will be allotted on completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
After years of correspondence we cannot agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in Barons Court. Does the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal have jurisdiction to calculate the appropriate figures?
