I am selling our property in Feltham and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. A high street Feltham lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers instructed an internet conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Feltham. Having lived in Feltham for 5 years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to get clarification need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. What do they say? You should 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)
How does conveyancing in Feltham differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Feltham contact us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is constructed. This is because new home sellers in Feltham usually purchase the real estate, 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 Feltham or who has acted in the same development.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Feltham is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Feltham are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Feltham you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Feltham may decide 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 premises.

In my capacity as executor for the estate of my aunt I am disposing of a residence in Swansea but live in Feltham. My lawyer (who is 250 miles awayrequires that I execute a statutory declaration ahead of completion. Could you suggest a conveyancing lawyer in Feltham who can attest this legal document for me?
strictly speaking you are unlikely to need to have the documents witnessed by a conveyancing solicitor. Ordinarily or notary public or solicitor will do regardless of whether they are Feltham based
