Local issues considered by Horsham Conveyancing Solicitors:

Risks associated with Contaminated Land

There can be severe consequences for a Horsham house affected by contaminated land. Horsham conveyancing solicitors now routinely carry out searches to find out whether properties are at risk. It is not only newer homes that are at risk. For example, traces of mercury and other poisonous chemicals have been found in the topsoil of properties built during the 1960s, on land used during WWI for munitions manufacture. Homes in Horsham built on contaminated land may be largely harmless to residents, but there are a number of risks, such as:

  • Inhalation of hazardous dust or gases
  • Exposure to lead, arsenic and other toxic materials
  • Water pollution
  • Buyers reluctant to complete their purchase

Issues to consider when your lawyer is not on your Lender's panel

Many lenders, and particularly nationwide banks, were once willing to instruct any solicitors who requested to be added to their panel. More recently, lenders have begun to remove firms which have either not completed many conveyancing transactions or have failed to meet other criteria. If your lender does not accept your chosen solicitor, you must make a decision as to how to proceed; you can either select a different lender or solicitor. It is possible to continue with your original choices, but your lender will expect you to pay for the legal costs relating to the mortgage. Bear in mind that it is usually more efficient and less expensive for the same firm act for you and your lender. Consider these points if you choose to change firms:

  • Additional fees may be charged by the new firm which your original lawyers considered to be inclusive.
  • Your second choice of firm may have less local knowledge, or be harder to meet in person.

Horsham Road and Rail

Is your prospective home likely to be affected by road or rail development? Your solicitor will research planned local transport schemes, and advise accordingly. Local searches confirmdevelopment nearby (closer than 200m) of roads and railway lines. Bear in mind that funding for major projects may not become available for many years, if at all, so searches often reveal schemes which may never be carried out.
