We decided to go with a Snettisham based firm for my conveyancing in Snettisham recently. After carefully reading the terms of engagement I notewe are on the hook for charges even if the movedoes not proceed.

I am downsizing from our home in Snettisham and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Snettisham conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers instructed an online conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Snettisham. Having lived in Snettisham for three years we know of no issue. Should we contact our local Authority to obtain clarification that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm already. Are they able to advise? You must 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 life insurance to cover that same ailment)
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my house are lost. The lawyers who dealt with the conveyancing in Snettisham 5 years ago are no longer around. What are my next steps?

Where duplicates can’t be found, your conveyancer can arrange cover in the form of insurance or indemnities against future claims on the premises.
I would like to let out my leasehold flat in Snettisham. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask her. Do I need to ask my freeholder for permission?
The lease governs the relationship between the freeholder and you the leaseholder; in particular, it will indicate if subletting is not allowed, or permitted but only subject to certain caveats. The rule is that if the lease contains no expres ban or restriction, subletting is permitted. Most leases in Snettisham do not prevent strict prohibition on subletting – such a provision would undoubtedly devalue the flat. Instead, there is usually a basic requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly sending a duplicate of the sublease.
