My partner and I are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our home in Dursley and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. A high street Dursley lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers are using an online conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Dursley. We have lived in Dursley for 4 years we know that this is a non issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to obtain confirmation that the buyers are looking for.

Have purchased a a semi-detached house in Dursley , how long should it take for the Land Registry to record the transfer to my name? My Dursley conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be certain the registration is addressed.

There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Dursley registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can vary according to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry communicate with any 3rd persons or bodies. At present in the region of three quarters of submission are fully dealt with within two weeks but occasionally there can be extensive hold-ups.

Due to the encouragement of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Dursley ahead of appointing lawyers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. Our surveyor has said that some banks will refuse to grant a loan on such a premises.

We're FTB’s - agreed a price, but the selling agent told us that the vendor will only go ahead if we use the agent's recommended conveyancers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street solicitor used to conveyancing in Dursley

We suspect that the owner is not behind this request. Should the seller want ‘a quick sale', turning down a genuine purchaser is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Try to communicate with the sellers directly and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you are going to appoint your preferred Dursley conveyancing firm - as opposed tothe ones that will earn the negotiator at the agency a commission or hit his conveyancing targets demanded by HQ.

What makes a Dursley lease defective?

There is nothing unique about leasehold conveyancing in Dursley. All leases are individual and drafting errors can result in certain clauses are wrong. The following missing provisions could result in a defective lease:

    Clauses dealing with recovering service charges for expenditure on the building or common parts. Maintenance charge proportions which don’t add up to the correct percentage

A defective lease will likely cause problems when trying to sell a property primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property. Birmingham Midshires, Bank of Scotland, and Alliance & Leicester all have very detailed conveyancing instructions when it comes to what is expected in a lease. Where a lender has been advised by their lawyers that the lease does not cover certain provisions they may refuse to grant the mortgage, obliging the purchaser to pull out.

Make sure you investigate if there is anything that is prohibited in the lease. For example plenty of leases prohibit pets being allowed in certain buildings in Dursley.
