I am close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our home in Groby and Ratby and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. Any high street Groby and Ratby conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers are using an internet conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Groby and Ratby. We have lived in Groby and Ratby for six years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to seek clarification need.
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 purchasing my first flat in Groby and Ratby with a mortgage from TSB. The builders refused to move on the price so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The estate agent told me not to tell my lawyer about the side-deal as it may adversely affect my loan with TSB. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
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 property I put an offer in last month in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Groby and Ratby is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can give?
Flying freeholds in Groby and Ratby are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Groby and Ratby you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Groby and Ratby may decide 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 premises.

Can they put you in touch with clients in Groby and Ratby who can give a testimonial?
I bought a 1 bedroom flat in Groby and Ratby, conveyancing having been completed September 1998. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Comparable flats in Groby and Ratby with a long lease are worth £176,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 levied per year. The lease ends on 21st October 2076
With only 50 years unexpired we estimate the premium for your lease extension to range between £31,400 and £36,200 as well as professional fees.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more comprehensive investigations. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be other concerns that need to be taken into account and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
