My wife and I are intent on selling our property in Woolacombe and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. A high street Woolacombe lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers instructed a web based conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Woolacombe. We have lived in Woolacombe for 4 years we know of no issue. Do we contact our local Authority to seek confirmation that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer already. Are they able to advise? You need to 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 am buying my first flat in Woolacombe with the aid of help to buy. The builders refused to budge the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The property agent suggested that I not reveal to my solicitor about this extras as it could put at risk my loan with the bank. Is this normal?.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in last month in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Woolacombe is the location of the property. Is there any guidance you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Woolacombe are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Woolacombe you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Woolacombe may ascertain 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 property.

I have just started marketing my garden flat in Woolacombe. Conveyancing has not commenced, however I have just had a half-yearly maintenance charge demand – what should I do?
It best that you clear the service charge as usual as all rents and maintenance charges should be allotted on completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
