My wife and I are planning on selling our home in Kingsland and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. Any local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the purchasers instructed a national conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Kingsland. We have lived in Kingsland for 4 years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to get confirmation need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. What do they say? 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 life insurance to cover that same sickness)
How does conveyancing in Kingsland differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Kingsland come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is built. This is because new home sellers in Kingsland typically buy the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Kingsland or who has acted in the same development.

I have had difficulty in trying to reach an agreement for a lease extension in Kingsland. Can this matter be resolved via the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal?
in cases where there is a missing freeholder or where there is dispute about the premium for a lease extension, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 it is possible to make an application to the LVT to arrive at the premium.
An example of a Lease Extension decision for a Kingsland property is 5C Stoke Newington Road in April 2010. the Tribunal therefore concludes that the premium to be paid for the extended lease is £700.00 This case affected 1 flat. The unexpired term as at the valuation date was 80.5 years.
When it comes to leasehold conveyancing in Kingsland what are the most frequent lease defects?
There is nothing unique about leasehold conveyancing in Kingsland. Most leases are drafted differently and legal mistakes in the legal wording can sometimes mean that certain clauses are wrong. For example, if your lease is missing any of the following, it could be defective:
-
A duty to insure the building Clauses dealing with recovering service charges for expenditure on the building or common parts.
A defective lease can cause problems when trying to sell a property primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property. Nationwide Building Society, Leeds Building Society, and Alliance & Leicester all have express conveyancing instructions when it comes to what is expected in a lease. If a mortgage lender believes that the lease is defective they may refuse to grant the mortgage, obliging the buyer to withdraw.
My wife and I intend to purchase our first home in Kingsland. Conveyancing practitioner already selected. The broker pointed out that a survey is not needed as the house was only constructed 22 years ago.
At the very least you should have a Home Buyer's Report. Given the premises is more than ten years old the property will not benefit from a warranty, so you don't want to take a risk. Where a property of this age shows no signs of problems a Home Buyer's report may be enough. They will highlight any obvious issues and recommend further investigation if appropriate. If there are any signs of material issues seek a full structural survey.
