I am selling our house in Shenley and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Shenley lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the purchasers instructed an online conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Shenley. Having lived in Shenley for three years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to get clarification that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You must 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 purchased my home on 11 May and my personal details is not yet registered. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Shenley advises it will be concluded inside ten days. Are properties in Shenley particularly slow to register?
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Shenley registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can adjust according to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry communicate with any third parties. As of today roughly three quarters of submission are fully addressed within two weeks but some can be subject to extensive delays. Registration occurs once the purchaser is living at the property therefore post completion formalities is not typically primary concern but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers should contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
