My partner and I are downsizing from our house in Bardsley and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. A local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers used a web based conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Bardsley. Having lived in Bardsley for many years we know that this is a non issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to seek clarification need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm already. Are they able to advise? You need to 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 ailment)
3 months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Bardsley concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the premises from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

Rather than looking online forget looking online you should go and have a look at Bardsley. In the meantime here are some basic statistics that we found
My husband and I are first time buyers - had an offer accepted, but the estate agent told us that the seller will only move forward if we use the agent's preferred solicitors as they want an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Bardsley
We suspect that the seller is not behind this ultimatum. Should the vendor desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious buyer is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Speak to the vendors direct and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are ready to progress, with finances in place © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you are going to use your preferred Bardsley conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will earn the negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or hit his conveyancing targets pre-set by head office.
I am attracted to a couple of flats in Bardsley both have approximately fifty years remaining on the leases. Do I need to be concerned?
There are plenty of short leases in Bardsley. The lease is a legal document that entitles you to use the property for a period of time. As the lease shortens the marketability of the lease deteriorates and it becomes more costly to extend the lease. This is why it is advisable to extend the lease term. More often than not it is difficulties arise selling premises with a short lease as mortgage lenders may be unwilling to lend money on such properties. Lease extension can be a protracted process. We advise that you get professional assistance from a conveyancer and surveyor with experience in this arena.
