My wife and I are downsizing from our property in Turvey and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. A high street Turvey lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers are using a web based conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Turvey. Having lived in Turvey for six years we know of no issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to seek confirmation need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. What do they say? You must 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 ailment)
five months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Turvey concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £215,000. 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.

I opted to have a survey carried out on a house in Turvey ahead of retaining lawyers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold element to the house. My surveyor has said that some mortgage companies tend not give a loan on this type of house.

Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Turvey. Before I set the wheels in motion I would like to find out the remaining lease term.
Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and almost all are in Turvey - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

Its a good idea to find out as much as possible concerning the company managing the building as they will impact your use and enjoyment of the property.
