My wife and I are intent on selling our property in Swanage and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. A high street Swanage lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers are using a national conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Swanage. Having lived in Swanage for three years we know that this is a non issue. Do we contact our local Authority to get clarification need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer already. Are they able to advise? You should 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 health insurance to cover that same illness)
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and identified one close by in Swanage I like with a park and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 51 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Swanage for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
If you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.

My sealed bid on house in Swanage has been agreed to, but there is a chain. The owners have put an offer on somewhere, however it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other properties in the pipeline. I have chosen a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Swanage. What do I do now? When do I get the mortgage application with Skipton started with Skipton?
It is standard to have concerns where there is an associated chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses prematurely (mortgage application is approx one thousand pounds, then valuation, Swanage conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you must ensure that your solicitor is on the Skipton conveyancing panel. As to the next steps this very much depends on the circumstances of your case, desire for this property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market many purchasers would apply for the mortgage with Skipton and arrange for the survey and only if it comes back ok would they request their solicitor to move forward with the conveyancing in Swanage.
