I am selling our house in Nunthorpe and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Nunthorpe conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the purchasers instructed a nationwide conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Nunthorpe. Having lived in Nunthorpe for six years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to seek clarification that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm already. What do they say? You need to 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)
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified as part of conveyancing in Nunthorpe?
Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Nunthorpe. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Nunthorpe I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Nunthorpe suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
If you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be problematic. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you could request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
