I am buying a property in Cheshunt. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Leeds Building Society be concerned?
As you are obtaining a mortgage with Leeds Building Society your lawyer must comply with the formal requirements contained in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Leeds Building Society.

We are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our property in Cheshunt and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. Any high street Cheshunt conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers are using a web based conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Cheshunt. We have lived in Cheshunt 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 obtain clarification need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor 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 life insurance to cover that same illness)
I was advised by a couple of local property agents in Cheshunt to get a quote from a solicitor on your site. What’s the financial advantage for Estate Agents to recommend your site over another?

Back In 2006, I bought a leasehold house in Cheshunt. Conveyancing and The Royal Bank of Scotland mortgage are in place. I have received a letter from someone saying they have taken over the reversionary interest in the property. Attached was a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1995. The conveyancing solicitor in Cheshunt who acted for me is not around. What should I do?
First contact HMLR to make sure that the individual claiming to own the freehold is indeed the new freeholder. There is no need to instruct a Cheshunt conveyancing solicitor to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for a few pound. Rest assured that in any event, even if this is the legitimate freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.
