We are selling our house in South Kensington and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. A high street South Kensington lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers instructed a factory type conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in South Kensington. We have lived in South Kensington for 5 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 already. Are they able to advise? 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 ailment)
I have todayfound out that Stirling Law have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in South Kensington for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 10 months ago. How can I establish that my home is in my name in the name of the former proprietor?
