Why do I have to pay up front for conveyancing in Walton on the Hill?
If you are buying a property in Walton on the Hill your solicitor will request that you place them with monies to cover the search fees. Ordinarily this is called for to cover the fees of the conveyancing searches. When the deposit is payable against the purchase price then this should be needed immediately before contracts are exchanged. Any further balance that is needed should be transferred a few days prior to the completion date.
My partner and I are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our house in Walton on the Hill and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. Any local lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers instructed a factory type conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Walton on the Hill. Having lived in Walton on the Hill for 4 years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to obtain confirmation need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. 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 life insurance to cover that same sickness)
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our property are lost. The conveyancers who handled the conveyancing in Walton on the Hill 10 years ago no longer exist. Will I be able to sell the house?
As long as the title is registered the information relating to your ownership will be documented by the Land Registry under a Title Number. It is easy to conduct a search at the Land Registry, identify your property and obtain current copies of the Registered Entries for a small fee. Where the title is Leasehold then the Land Registry will usually retain a certified duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be ordered for £20 inclusive of VAT.

I am intending to let out my leasehold apartment in Walton on the Hill. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask him. Do I need to ask my freeholder for their consent?
The lease governs the relationship between the landlord and you the leaseholder; in particular, it will indicate if subletting is not allowed, or permitted but only subject to certain caveats. The rule is that if the lease contains no expres ban or restriction, subletting is permitted. The majority of leases in Walton on the Hill do not contain subletting altogether – such a clause would undoubtedly devalue the property. In most cases there is a basic requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly supplying a duplicate of the sublease.
