We are planning on selling our home in Clent and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. A local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers are using a web based conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Clent. We have lived in Clent for 5 years we know of no issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to get confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer 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)
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in Clent I like with open areas and station nearby, however it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Clent for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
Should you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be an issue. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
