We are selling our house in Levenshulme and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated.

My husband and I are FTB’s - agreed a price, but the property agent advised that the vendor will only proceed if we appoint their recommended conveyancers as they want a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a local conveyancer used to conveyancing in Levenshulme

We suspect that the seller is not behind this requirement. If they want ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious buyer is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Contact the sellers directly and explain that (a)you are genuine buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you intend to use your own,trusted Levenshulme conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will give the estate agent a referral fee or hit his conveyancing thresholds pre-set by senior management.

My wife and I purchased a leasehold flat in Levenshulme. Conveyancing and Clydesdale mortgage organised. I have received a letter from someone saying they have taken over the freehold. It included a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1998. The conveyancing practitioner in Levenshulme who acted for me is not around. Do I pay?

The first thing you should do is contact HMLR to be sure that the individual purporting to own the freehold is indeed the registered owner of the freehold reversion. There is no need to incur the fees of a Levenshulme conveyancing practitioner to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for less than a fiver. Rest assured that in any event, even if this is the rightful freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.

I own a studio flat in Levenshulme, conveyancing was carried out November 1996. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension? Similar flats in Levenshulme with a long lease are worth £195,000. The ground rent is £45 charged once a year. The lease finishes on 21st October 2088

With 63 years unexpired we estimate the price of your lease extension to be between £16,200 and £18,600 as well as costs.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive due diligence. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional issues that need to be taken into account and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward placing reliance on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.

One month into purchasing a residence in Levenshulme. Conveyancing lawyer has called to say the property is "Leasehold". Will this likely make a difference on the salability of the house?

Levenshulme conveyancing does not in most situations involve leasehold houses. The key consideration here is the unexpired lease term and the ground rent. If it's 999 years with a nominal rent, it's essentially freehold, so it shouldn't impact the value significantly.

At the other extreme, if it's, say, 50 years it will have a material impact on the saleability, and probably wouldn't be mortgageable. The remaining lease term and ground rent will be specified in the lease which should be made available to your lawyer.
