My partner and I are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our home in Brighton and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. A high street Brighton lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers instructed a web based conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Brighton. We have lived in Brighton for many years we know of no issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to seek confirmation need.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm already. 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 have todaybecome aware that Stirling Law have closed. They carried out my conveyancing in Brighton for a purchase of a freehold house 10 months ago. How can I be sure that my home is not still registered in the name of the former proprietor?

I have just appointed agents to market my 2 bed apartment in Brighton. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, but I have recently received a yearly maintenance charge invoice – Do I pay up?

Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should discharge the service charge as you normally would because all rents and maintenance invoices will be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.

I am the registered owner of a ground floor flat in Brighton, conveyancing was carried out in 2004. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Corresponding flats in Brighton with an extended lease are worth £186,000. The ground rent is £55 invoiced annually. The lease expires on 21st October 2074

You have 51 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £30,400 and £35,200 as well as professional fees.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more comprehensive due diligence. Do not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt additional issues that need to be taken into account and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action placing reliance on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
