We are downsizing from our home in Purley and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. A high street Purley conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers are using a web based conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Purley. We have lived in Purley for 4 years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to seek confirmation need.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer already. 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 health insurance to cover that same illness)

I purchased my flat on 12 February and my personal details is yet to be registered. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Purley advises it will be recorded in less than a month. Are titles in Purley particularly slow to register?

There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Purley registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can adjust depending on who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry must send notices to any 3rd persons or bodies. As of today approximately three quarters of such applications are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but some can be subject to longer hold-ups. Historically registration takes place once the purchaser is living at the premises therefore an expedited registration 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 a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Purley is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?

Flying freeholds in Purley are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Purley you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Purley may determine 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.

I today plan to offer on a house that appears to tick a lot of boxes, at a great figure which is making it all the more appealing. I have just found out that it's a leasehold as opposed to freehold. I would have thought that there are issues purchasing a leasehold house in Purley. Conveyancing advisers have not yet been appointed. Will my lawyers set out the implications of buying a leasehold house in Purley ?

Most houses in Purley are freehold rather than leasehold. In this scenario it’s worth having a local conveyancer who is familiar with the area who can assist with the conveyancing process. It is clear that you are buying in Purley so you should seriously consider shopping around for a Purley conveyancing solicitor and be sure that they have experience in transacting on leasehold houses. As a matter of priority you will need to check the unexpired lease term. As a lessee you will not be entirely free to do whatever you want to the property. The lease will likely included provisions for example requiring the landlord’sconsent to carry out changes to the property. It may be necessary to pay a maintenance charge towards the upkeep of the communal areas where the house is part of an estate. Your solicitor should appraise you on the various issues.

I am the leaseholder of a basement flat in Purley. Given that I can not reach agreement with the landlord, can the Leasehold valuation Tribunal determine the amount payable for the purchase of the freehold?

Where there is a absentee landlord or where there is dispute about what the lease extension should cost, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 it is possible to make an application to the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) to assess the price.

An example of a Freehold Enfranchisement decision for a Purley property is The Woodlands 95 Purley Park Road in April 2009. The Tribunals own valuation produced the figure of £37,912. This case affected 6 flats. The number of years remaining on the existing lease(s) was 78.32 years.

Can you please explain what my options are if my Purley conveyancing searches shows adverse entries?

Normally, the majority of problems disclosed in Purley conveyancing search results can be handled prior to completion or indemnity insurance could possibly be put in place. You need to note that even though you intend on purchasing the property and might be content to live with the search results, your building society or bank may not, and ultimately they have the word say.
