I am selling our house in Colliers Wood and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. A high street Colliers Wood conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers instructed a factory type conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Colliers Wood. Having lived in Colliers Wood for 5 years we know of no issue. Do we contact our local Authority to obtain confirmation that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm already. 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 life insurance to cover that same illness)
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my home can not be found. The solicitors who did the conveyancing in Colliers Wood 5 years ago no longer exist. Will I be able to sell the house?
These day there are duplicates made of almost everything, and your lawyer should know exactly where to locate all the suitable paperwork so you can buy or dispose of your house without any difficulty. If copies are not available, your lawyer may be able to put in place insurance or indemnities against possible claims on the property.

Please confirm the Lease plans are surveyor prepared. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company?
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Colliers Wood is where the house is located. Can you offer any guidance?
Flying freeholds in Colliers Wood are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Colliers Wood you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Colliers Wood may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
