I am selling our home in Mudeford 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. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers instructed an online conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Mudeford. Having lived in Mudeford for 4 years we know that this is a non issue. Do we contact our local Authority to obtain confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm already. Are they able to advise? You must check with 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'm buying a new build house in Mudeford with a loan from Coventry Building Society. The sellers would not move on the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The sale representative told me not to tell my conveyancer about this deal as it will impact my mortgage with the lender. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
I am downsizing from my house. My former lawyers closed down. I am in need of a recommendation of a conveyancing firm. Im based in Mudeford if that makes a difference.

Can you offer any advice when it comes to choosing a Mudeford conveyancing firm to deal with our lease extension?
When appointing a solicitor for your lease extension (regardless if they are a Mudeford conveyancing practice) it is essential that they be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of work. We recommend that you make enquires with several firms including non Mudeford conveyancing practices before you instructing a firm. If the firm is ALEP accredited then that’s a bonus. The following questions might be helpful:
-
Can they put you in touch with clients in Mudeford who can give a testimonial? What are the costs for lease extension conveyancing?
I am the registered owner of a basement flat in Mudeford, conveyancing formalities finalised 5 years ago. Can you let me have an estimate of the premium that my landlord can legally expect in return for granting a renewal of my lease? Corresponding properties in Mudeford with a long lease are worth £179,000. The ground rent is £65 invoiced every year. The lease ceases on 21st October 2083
You have 57 years unexpired we estimate the price of your lease extension to range between £26,600 and £30,800 as well as professional fees.
The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of detailed investigations. You should not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other issues that need to be taken into account and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward placing reliance on this information before getting professional advice.
My husband and I are FTB’s just having agreed a price on a property in Mudeford, and need to get solicitors lined up. We have made use of the various comparison based websites and the fee estimates are from all across the country. Is it essential to have a Mudeford lawyer local to our potential property? We are content to do everything over email, but I assume at some point we will be required to visit the conveyancing practitioner's office to sign papers?
The solicitor does not need to be in Mudeford, but choosing local means that you can attend their offices if needed, by way of example, if a signature is immediately necessary. Furthermore, a Mudeford solicitor is likely to be familiar with local agents and (if the vendor has instructed a local conveyancing practitioner) with them, which will help keep things moving faster.
