We are selling our property in Shepton Mallet and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. Any local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the purchasers are using an internet conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Shepton Mallet. We have lived in Shepton Mallet for 4 years we know of no issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to seek clarification that the buyers are looking for.

four months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Shepton Mallet took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the premises from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and found one near me in Shepton Mallet I like with a park and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Shepton Mallet suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
If you require a mortgage that many years may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.

The average fee for the paperwork that you are referring to is over three hundred pounds, in some situations it is above £800. The administration charge levied by the landlord must be sent together with a summary of rights and obligations in relation to administration charges, otherwise the invoice is not strictly payable.

Is there a difference between surveying and conveyancing in Shepton Mallet?
Conveyancing - in Shepton Mallet or anywhere in England and Wales - is the process of legally transferring legal title of property from one person to another. It therefore includes the investigation of the title. Whether buying or selling, you should be aware of anything affecting the property such as proposals by government departments, illegal buildings, or outstanding rates. The conveyancer should conduct the appropriate searches and inquiries on the property. Surveying relates to the structure of a property itself. A surveyor will look at a house, flat and any outbuildings you are intending to buy and will help you find out about the condition of the building and, if there are problems, give you leverage for reducing the price down or asking the vendor to fix the defects before you complete your move.
