I am close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our property in Flackwell Heath and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. Any local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the purchasers used an internet conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Flackwell Heath. We have lived in Flackwell Heath for three years we know that this is a non issue. Should we contact our local Authority to get clarification that the buyers are looking for.

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and found one round the corner in Flackwell Heath I like with open areas and transport links nearby, however it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Flackwell Heath in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
Should you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be an issue. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account.

Me and my partner have just had an offer accepted on a apartment and had meeting on Tuesday with the Post Office for the mortgage. They warned us that when it comes to appointing a property lawyer that if they are not on their approved panel of property lawyers then we will incur an extra fee of £200. This is is due to the fact that they will then have to appoint a solicitor to act for them in addition to the one we appoint for ourselves and we assume responsibility for their fees. I have asked the Post Office to provide me with a list so I can request estimates only from their approved lawyers but was told that I need to check with each individual solicitor to see if they are on the panel. Is their an easier way of going about this?
You should ask the Post Office what their panel criteria is for a conveyancer.Thereafter ask the conveyancer of your choice whether they fit that criteria and have they acted on loans for the Post Office historically. Where the answer to those is yes, then just double check with the Post Office. Another option is to make use of our search tool and we may be able to find you a lawyer in Flackwell Heath on the approved list for the Post Office.
