My wife and I are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our property in Cawthorne and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. A high street Cawthorne lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers are using an internet conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Cawthorne. We have lived in Cawthorne for 4 years we know that this is a non issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to obtain clarification need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. 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 illness)
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly picked up as part of conveyancing in Cawthorne?
Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in Cawthorne. 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…’
The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build flat in Cawthorne. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build legal work.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Cawthorne is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Cawthorne are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Cawthorne you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Cawthorne may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
I need to appoint a conveyancing solicitor for my conveyancing in Cawthorne. I've stumble across a web site which seems to have the perfect solution If there is a chance to get all this stuff done via web that would be preferable. Do I need to be concerned? What are the potential pitfalls?
As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Cawthorne. Before I set the wheels in motion I would like to find out the remaining lease term.
Assuming the lease is registered - and almost all are in Cawthorne - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
