We are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our property in Hermon and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. A high street Hermon lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers used a factory type conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Hermon. Having lived in Hermon for six years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to obtain confirmation that the buyers are looking for.

4 months have elapsed since my purchase conveyancing in Hermon concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?

The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

My partner and I may need to sub-let our Hermon 1st floor flat for a while due to a new job. We used a Hermon conveyancing practice in 2003 but they have closed and we did not have the foresight to seek any guidance as to whether the lease prohibits the subletting of the flat. How do we find out?

Even though your previous Hermon conveyancing lawyer is no longer available you can check your lease to see if you are permitted to let out the property. The rule is that if the deeds are non-specific, subletting is permitted. There may be a precondition that you are obliged to seek consent via your landlord or some other party prior to subletting. The net result is that you cannot sublet without prior permission. The consent is not allowed to be unreasonably refused ore delayed. If the lease prohibits you from letting out the property you will need to ask your landlord if they are willing to waive this restriction.
