My partner and I are planning on selling our house in Longhope and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any local conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the purchasers instructed an online conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Longhope. Having lived in Longhope for 4 years we know that this is a non issue. Do we contact our local Authority to seek confirmation that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor already. What do they say? You must 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)

Last June I purchased a leasehold house in Longhope. Am I liable to pay service charges relating to a period prior to completion of my purchase?
Where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous lessee and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. Strange as it may seem, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. It is an essential part of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to be sure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).

In this arrangement the tenants benefit from being in charge if their destiny and even though a managing agent is usually retained where it is bigger than a house conversion, the managing agent employed by the leaseholders. This question is important as a) areas can cause problems for the block as the communal areas may start to deteriorate where services remain unpaid b) if the leaseholders have a dispute with the managing agents you will wish to know about it Is the freehold owned jointly by the tenants?
