My partner’s brother is a solicitor. I suspect that I will be offered preferential pricing for conveyancing, but if not, what level of fees would I typically be looking at for conveyancing in Caversham?
You should compare pricing. Make use of our comparison tool on this page. The prices do be different but service levels do are distinct between conveyancers as is the case with most professions.
We are planning on selling our house in Caversham and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. A high street Caversham lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers instructed an online conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Caversham. Having lived in Caversham for six years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to get clarification that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm already. What do they say? You must 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 sickness)
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly picked up as part of conveyancing in Caversham?
Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in Caversham. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’
I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one near me in Caversham I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 51 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Caversham for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease may be an issue. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you could ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.

Where a Caversham lease has less than 80 years it will impact the value of the apartment. It is worth checking with your mortgage company that they are content with remaining years on the lease.
