Having sold my house in Molesey last March but my buyer keeps texting every few hours to say his lawyer needs to hear from mysolicitor. What should have happened following completion?
Following your sale your lawyer should forward the transfer deeds and all of the paperwork to the buyer’s conveyancer. Where appropriate, your lawyer should also confirm that the mortgage has been redeemed to the purchasers lawyers. There are no post completion procedures peculiar conveyancing in Molesey.
My partner and I are selling our home in Molesey and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. A local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers instructed a web based conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Molesey. Having lived in Molesey for 4 years we know of no issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to get confirmation need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You need to 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 illness)

My wife and I may need to rent out our Molesey 1st floor flat for a while due to a new job. We used a Molesey conveyancing practice in 2002 but they have since shut and we did not think at the time seek any advice as to whether the lease allows us to sublet. How do we find out?
Even though your last Molesey conveyancing solicitor is no longer available you can review your lease to see if it allows you to sublet the property. The accepted inference is that if the lease is silent, subletting is allowed. There may be a precondition that you need to obtain consent via your landlord or other appropriate person in advance of subletting. This means that you cannot sublet without prior consent. The consent is not allowed to be unreasonably withheld. If your lease prohibits you from subletting the property you should ask your landlord for their consent.
