We are intent on selling our house in Fetcham and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. A local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers instructed an internet conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Fetcham. Having lived in Fetcham for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Should we contact our local Authority to seek confirmation that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You must 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 health insurance to cover that same sickness)
Just acquired a detached house in Fetcham , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing the transfer to my name? My Fetcham conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be sure that my purchase is registered.
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Fetcham registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can differ subject to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry communicate with any other persons or bodies. Currently in the region of 80% of submission are fully addressed within two weeks but occasionally there can be protracted delays. Historically registration is effected after the buyer has moved in to the premises so an expedited registration is not usually an essential issue yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer can contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.

Last November I purchased a leasehold flat in Fetcham. Do I have any liability for service charges relating to a period prior to my ownership?
In a situation where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous lessee and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. However, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. It is an essential part of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to be sure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).
