My wife and I are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our property in West Kensington and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. A local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem.

As far as conveyancing in West Kensington registration is no faster or slower than the rest of the country. Rather than based on location, timeframes can adjust subject to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any other parties. As of today approximately 80% of such applications are completed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be extensive hold-ups. Historically registration occurs once the purchaser is living at the property so 'speed' is not always primary concern yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer must speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
