Completed the sale of my flat in Stapleton last December yet the purchaser is telephoning daily to moan that his solicitor is waiting to hear from mine. What should have happened following completion?
Post completion of your disposal your solicitor is duty bound to send the transfer documentation and all supplemental paperwork to the buyer’s solicitors. Depending on the transaction, your conveyancer must also confirm that the legal charge in favour of the lender has been redeemed to the purchasers lawyers. There are no post completion requirements unique to conveyancing in Stapleton.
My partner and I are downsizing from our property in Stapleton and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any local lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the purchasers used a web based conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Stapleton. We have lived in Stapleton for three years we know of no issue. Do we contact our local Authority to get clarification need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. What do they say? 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 illness)
I am buying a new build apartment in Stapleton. Conveyancing is necessary evil at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build legal work.

Please confirm the Lease plans are surveyor prepared. Please supply a car parking plan. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease.
I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £305k and found one round the corner in Stapleton I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 51 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Stapleton suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
Should you require a home loan that many years may be problematic. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you can request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
My husband and I are novice buyers - had an offer accepted, but the estate agent informed us that the vendor will only issue a contract if we use their preferred solicitors as they want an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a local conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Stapleton
It is improbable the sellers are driving this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated purchaser is counter productive. Contact the owners directly and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you will continue to appoint your preferred Stapleton conveyancing solicitors - rather thanthose that will provide their estate agent a introducer fee or hit his conveyancing targets demanded by head office.
