I have 7378 less than 75 years left on my lease and need a lease extension for my flat in Belton. Conveyancing solicitors on the Platform panel can deal with such extensions right?
Most leasehold conveyancing experts should be able to deal with a lease extension. if you are obtaining a mortgage then your lender may insist that the lease be extended before competition. Platform have specific requirements as set out in the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook in relation to minimum unexpired lease terms. As of 9/12/2025 the requirements read as follows :
My wife and I are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our house in Belton and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. A local conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers used an online conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Belton. Having lived in Belton for 4 years we know that this is a non issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to seek clarification that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm already. Are they able to advise? You must enquire of 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 illness)
How does conveyancing in Belton differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Belton contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is constructed. This is because builders in Belton typically purchase the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Belton or who has acted in the same development.
