"Eden have completely changed my perspective on what a conveyancing company can provide.Having bought through more traditional conveyancers before I was ready for a lot of waiting, pestering, being on hold, messages not being passed on and general stress levels being quite high.But from our initial application, to our first meeting (which they were able to book in the next day at our request), through to completion way ahead of when we expected, we were treated to excellent customer service from Sam and the Eden experience.The portal is great and allows you to simply see everything that needs to happen and when it will happen, as well as what funds are moving around to what parties at what time really quickly.Sam was so friendly, knowledgeable and responsive. I would class myself as quite an annoying customer - always wanting to know that we're as moved along down the line as we can be - and this was met with assurances and professionalism at all times.Oh and they were great value too! But I would easily rank them the best conveyors I have ever used so would absolutely pay the premium if they came out at most expensive when comparing.Thanks Sam and the team! "

Data taken from Get Agent
Your conveyancer will have to conduct conveyancing searches. They are a crucial part of the process and will highlight potential environmental issues that can affect the property. They look at various issues such as flood risk, subsidence, and radon gas levels.
The City of Westminster has a high risk of flooding, predominantly from surface water sources, according to Westminster Council’s website. Surface water flooding in Westminster is closely linked to the capacity of the drainage infrastructure, which includes highway gullies and the sewer system. As Westminster sits on the north bank of the Thames it is also potentially susceptible to both tidal and fluvial flooding.
Across London, there are subsidence issues due to the high clay content in the soil and a high volume of large buildings across a small area. Radon gas levels are low in the area and should not be a concern.
