My partner and I are selling our house in Stanwick and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. A local conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers instructed an online conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Stanwick. Having lived in Stanwick for 4 years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to seek confirmation that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. What do they say? You should 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 sickness)
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Stanwick is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Stanwick are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Stanwick you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Stanwick may determine 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 residence.

Helen (my wife) and I may need to rent out our Stanwick basement flat temporarily due to a new job. We instructed a Stanwick conveyancing firm in 2001 but they have closed and we did not think at the time get any guidance as to whether the lease prohibits the subletting of the flat. How do we find out?
Some leases for properties in Stanwick do contain a provision to say that subletting is only allowed with permission. The landlord cannot unreasonably refuse but, in such cases, they would need to see references. Experience dictates that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting consent.

You should want to find out as much as possible about the managing agents as they can either make living at the property much simpler or problematic. Being a leasehold owner you will be at the mercy of the managing agents from a financial perspective and when it comes to day to day issues like the tidiness of the communal areas. Enquire of other people what they think of their management. On a final note, find out the dates that you are obliged pay the maintenance charge to the relevant party and precisely what it includes. Where a Stanwick lease has no more than 80 years it will affect the value of the flat. Check with your mortgage company that they are willing to to proceed given the lease term. Leases with less than 80 years remaining means that you will probably require a lease extension sooner rather than later and you need to have some idea of how much this will be. Remember, in most cases you would need to own the residence for a couple of years in order to be eligible to extend the lease. What is the length of the lease?
