My wife and I are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our home in Jesmond and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Jesmond conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers used a nationwide conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Jesmond. We have lived in Jesmond for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to get clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you 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 life insurance to cover that same sickness)
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £245,000 and found one near me in Jesmond I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, however it's only got 52 years on the lease. There is not much else in Jesmond in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you may request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
