Me and my partner are soon to complete on the purchase of a property in Harold Hill but as a consequence of damage from the recent storms I have managed to agree recompense from the current proprietors in the sum of six thousand pounds by way of a reduction in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of amending the contract however Skipton are not allowing this. Should they have been informed?
Your conveyancing practitioner being on a Skipton approved list is obliged to disclose to Skipton of any variations to the purchase price. If you were to refuse your lawyer to disclose the reduction to Skipton then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Skipton and you would have to appoint a new conveyancing practitioner for your conveyancing in Harold Hill.
I am downsizing from our home in Harold Hill and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. A high street Harold Hill conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the purchasers are using a web based conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Harold Hill. We have lived in Harold Hill for 5 years we know of no issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to get confirmation need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm already. Are they able to advise? 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 ailment)

I work for a long established estate agency in Harold Hill where we have witnessed a number of flat sales put at risk as a result of short leases. I have received inconsistent advice from local Harold Hill conveyancing firms. Please can you confirm whether the seller of a flat can instigate the lease extension process for the buyer?
Provided that the seller has been the owner for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to kick-start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the proposed purchaser need not have to sit tight for 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done prior to, or simultaneously with completion of the disposal of the property.
An alternative approach is to agree the lease extension with the freeholder either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the buyer.
