In a situation where you are under time constraints to sign contracts it is highly recommended that your lawyer is familiar with the area as they will have local contacts and intelligence. It is even conceivable that they could have transacted otherhouses in the same street. Therefore consider using a Yarmouth conveyancing lawyer. In addition, check that the lawyer is on the member panel. It is estimated that nearly one in five of Yarmouth conveyancing deals are delayed or jeopardised after finding out that a purchaser’s solicitor was not on their mortgage lender’s panel. This can often result in the legal transfer of property being held up by an average of 21 days. It is believed that this issue affects approximately 100,000 home moves every year. Many Yarmouth conveyancing practices can not represent certain mortgage companies so do check at the outset.

We are downsizing from our property in Yarmouth and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Yarmouth conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers used an online conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Yarmouth. We have lived in Yarmouth for 4 years we know of no issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to get clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor already. Are they able to advise? 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 life insurance to cover that same illness)
I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and found one close by in Yarmouth I like with open areas and transport links nearby, however it only has 61 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Yarmouth suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you need a home loan that many years will likely be an issue. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you may request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
