Will my conveyancing lawyers need to check that the building insurance for my purchase of a house in Hambleton. My lender is Bank of Ireland
Bank of Ireland have specific requirements as set out in the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook. As of 15/4/2025, the requirements read as follows :
My partner and I are intent on selling our home in Hambleton and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being 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 as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Hambleton. Having lived in Hambleton for six years we know that this is a non issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to seek clarification that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. What do they say? You must 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 life insurance to cover that same sickness)

I have recently realised that I have 68 years left on my lease in Hambleton. I am keen to extend my lease but my landlord is absent. What are my options?
If you qualify, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can submit an application to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will enable the lease to be granted an extra 90 years by the magistrate. You will be obliged to prove that you or your lawyers have made all reasonable attempts to locate the freeholder. For most situations an enquiry agent may be helpful to conduct investigations and prepare a report which can be accepted by the court as proof that the freeholder is indeed missing. It is advisable to get professional help from a solicitor both on investigating the landlord’s disappearance and the vesting order request to the County Court covering Hambleton.
I own a 1st floor flat in Hambleton, conveyancing having been completed August 2004. Can you give me give me an indication of the likely cost of a lease extension? Equivalent properties in Hambleton with an extended lease are worth £196,000. The ground rent is £45 yearly. The lease ends on 21st October 2089
With 64 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £15,200 and £17,600 plus professional fees.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more detailed investigations. You should not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be other concerns that need to be considered and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action placing reliance on this information without first getting professional advice.
There are a number of houses in Hambleton on unadopted lanes. We are purchasing one such house. Are there any benefits to purchasing a residence on a private road?
Hambleton conveyancing firms are well versed in dealing homeson unadopted roads. Your solicitor should review the title to identify any rights or responsibilities. It is possible that there is a residents association that owners pay into to maintain the road. If one exists, the road should be maintained and look better than publicly adopted.
