I am in a contract race with another prospective purchaser for a property in Evesham. What can I do to expedite matters?
In the event that the seller is applying pressure to exchange we would recommend that your lawyer is familiar with the location as they will benefit local contacts and insight. It is even conceivable that they could have conducted otherhomes in the same neighbourhood. You would be best advised to use a Evesham conveyancing solicitor. Second, ensure that the conveyancing firm is on the on the approved list for your mortgage company. It is estimated that just under twenty per cent of Evesham conveyancing deals are frustrated or jeopardised after discovering a purchaser’s solicitor was not on their mortgage lender’s member panel. This can often result in the home move being held up by as much as 21 days. It is estimated that this issue impacts approximately 100,000 home sales every year. Many Evesham conveyancing practices can not act for certain lenders so do check at the outset.
We are planning to acquire a house and need a conveyancing solicitor in Evesham who is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a solicitor?

My partner and I are downsizing from our property in Evesham and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. Any high street Evesham lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers used an online conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Evesham. Having lived in Evesham for 4 years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to seek clarification that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer already. What do they say? You need to 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 health insurance to cover that same ailment)

The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease.

On the basis that you meet the appropriate requirements, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can submit an application to the County Court for for permission to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will enable the lease to be granted an extra 90 years by the Court. However, you will be required to prove that you or your lawyers have used your best endeavours to track down the landlord.
