I am close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our house in Hambleton and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. A high street Hambleton lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers are using an online conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Hambleton. We have lived in Hambleton for six years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to seek confirmation need.

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)

About to purchase a new build apartment in Hambleton. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build legal work.

Here are examples of a few leasehold new build questions that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Hambleton

Please supply a car parking plan. Please supply evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose?

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in Hambleton I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 51 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Hambleton in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?

If you require a mortgage that many years will be problematic. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you could ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.

I need to retain a conveyancing solicitor for leasehold conveyancing in Hambleton. I have stumble upon a site which looks to be the ideal offering If there is a chance to get all formalities completed via email that would be preferable. Should I be wary? What should out be looking out for?

As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
