My wife and I are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our house in Dore and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. Any local conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers used a nationwide conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Dore. We have lived in Dore for three years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to get confirmation need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. What do they say? 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 life insurance to cover that same sickness)

I am looking for a flat up to £305k and found one round the corner in Dore I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it's only got 51 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Dore for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
Should you require a mortgage that many years may be problematic. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
Am I right to be concerned that 3rd parties that I am dealing with are suggesting an online conveyancing firm rather than a local Dore conveyancing practice?
As is the case with many professional services, often referrals from relatives can be worth their weight in gold. Yet there are numerous players in a conveyancing transaction; estate agents, financial adviser and lenders may put forward conveyancers to instruct. Sometimes these lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but occasionally there is an underlying financial incentive behind the recommendation. You have the right to choose your preferred conveyancer. However, bear in mind that some mortgage providers have an approved list of conveyancers you have to use for the lender aspect of your house move.
