I am close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our home in Staindrop and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. A high street Staindrop conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the purchasers are using an internet conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Staindrop. We have lived in Staindrop for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to get clarification need.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer 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 life insurance to cover that same ailment)

Me and my brother have a renovated Victorian house in Staindrop. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and . I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold with the matching address. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?

You need to review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Staindrop and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also enquire as to the situation with your conveyancing solicitor who conducted the purchase.

I am purchasing a new build house in Staindrop with the aid of help to buy. The developers would not budge the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep told me not disclose to my lawyer about the deal as it could affect my loan with the lender. Is this normal?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

My husband and I have just had an offer accepted on our 1st house in Staindrop, and are about to get solicitors appointed. We have utilised the numerous rating tools and the fee estimates are from all across the England and Wales. Is it necessary to have a Staindrop local to our potential house? I am happy to do everything electronically, but I assume at some point we may need to physically go into the 's office to sign contracts?

The does not have to be in Staindrop, but choosing local means that you have the option to go in if you need to, for instance, if a signature is immediately necessary. In addition, a Staindrop solicitor is likely to be familiar with local agents and (if the vendor has instructed a local ) with them, which should help smooth the process.
