We are downsizing from our home in Felpham and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. A local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers are using a factory type conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Felpham. We have lived in Felpham for three years we know that this is a non issue. Should we contact our local Authority to obtain confirmation need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You should 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)

Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in Felpham.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Felpham is the location of the property. Can you offer any opinion?
Flying freeholds in Felpham are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Felpham you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Felpham 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 residence.
In what way can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 affect my business property in Felpham and how can you help?
The 1954 Act affords a safeguard to commercial lessees, granting the dueness to make a request to court for a continuation of occupancy at the end of the lease term.

Some leases for properties in Felpham do contain a provision to say that subletting is only allowed with permission.

Experience dictates that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting consent.

The prefered form of lease structure is a share of the freehold. In this scenario the tenants have control and notwithstanding that a managing agent is usually employed if it is larger than a house conversion, the managing agent acts for the leaseholders themselves.
