We are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our property in Pevensey and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. Any high street Pevensey lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers used an online conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Pevensey. Having lived in Pevensey for 5 years we know of no issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to seek confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. 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 sickness)
Have completed on a a semi-detached house in Pevensey , how long should it take for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing my proprietorship? My Pevensey conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to check the registration formalities are concluded.
As far as conveyancing in Pevensey registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can adjust depending on who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry must send notices to any 3rd parties. Currently in the region of three quarters of submission are fully dealt with within 12 days but some can be subject to protracted delays. Registration occurs once the buyer is living at the property thus registration formalities is not usually top priority yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Pevensey is where the house is located. Can you offer any advice?
Flying freeholds in Pevensey are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Pevensey you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Pevensey may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
As co-executor for the will of my grandfather I am disposing of a property in Cardiff but I am based in Pevensey. My conveyancer (who is 300 kilometers awayhas requested that I execute a statutory declaration before the transaction finalising.

strictly speaking you are not likely to need to have the documents witnessed by a conveyancing solicitor. Ordinarily or notary public or solicitor will be fine regardless of whether they are based in Pevensey
I am looking at a two apartments in Pevensey which have approximately fifty years unexpired on the leases. Will this present a problem?
There are plenty of short leases in Pevensey. The lease is a right to use the premises for a period of time. As the lease gets shorter the marketability of the lease decreases and it becomes more expensive to acquire a lease extension. For this reason it is advisable to increase the term of the lease. It is often difficult to sell a property with a short lease as mortgage companies may be reluctant to lend money on such properties. Lease enfranchisement can be a difficult process. We recommend you seek professional help from a solicitor and surveyor with experience in this field.
