My wife and I are selling our house in Horsforth and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. Any local conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers are using a web based conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Horsforth. Having lived in Horsforth for three years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to seek clarification that the buyers are looking for.

My partner and I may need to let out our Horsforth 1st floor flat for a while due to a new job. We instructed a Horsforth conveyancing firm in 2004 but they have since shut and we did not think at the time get any advice as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?
Your lease dictates the relationship between the landlord and you the flat owner; in particular, it will set out if subletting is banned, or permitted but only subject to certain conditions. The rule is that if the lease contains no expres ban or restriction, subletting is allowed. Most leases in Horsforth do not contain an absolute prevention of subletting – such a clause would adversely affect the market value the flat. In most cases there is a basic requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly supplying a copy of the sublease.
