My partner and I are selling our property in Biddulph and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. Any high street Biddulph lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the purchasers instructed a factory type conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Biddulph. Having lived in Biddulph 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 get confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You must enquire of your lawyer before you do anything.

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in Biddulph I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 52 years on the lease. There is not much else in Biddulph suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
If you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be problematic. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
My husband and I are new on the property ladder - agreed a price, yet the agent has warned us that the vendor will only issue a contract if we instruct the agent's recommended solicitors as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’.

It is improbable the sellers are driving this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a genuine purchaser is not the way to achieve this. Speak to the vendors direct and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with finances arranged © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you will continue to instruct your own,trusted Biddulph conveyancing lawyers - rather thanthose that will give the estate agent a kickback or achieve conveyancing figures demanded by head office.
