My partner and I are selling our house in Chopwell and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. Any local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers used a web based conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Chopwell. We have lived in Chopwell for six years we know of no issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to obtain confirmation need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You need to 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 life insurance to cover that same illness)

We are 18 days into a leasehold purchase having been directed to solicitors by the local agent to handle our conveyancing in Chopwell. I am am very dissatisfied with the level of service. Could you help me find new solicitors?

Your conveyancer needs to be on the banks panel to avoid escalating fees and frustration. That should be your first question of the new lawyers.

I have recently realised that I have 62 years unexpired on my lease in Chopwell. I now wish to get lease extension but my landlord is absent. What options are available to me?
On the basis that you qualify, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can submit an application to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will enable the lease to be lengthened by the Court. You will be obliged to prove that you or your lawyers have done all that could be expected to locate the freeholder. On the whole a specialist should be helpful to carry out a search and prepare an expert document to be accepted by the court as proof that the freeholder can not be located. It is advisable to get professional help from a property lawyer both on investigating the landlord’s disappearance and the vesting order request to the County Court overseeing Chopwell.
I purchased a 2 bed flat in Chopwell, conveyancing having been completed September 2002. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Equivalent properties in Chopwell with an extended lease are worth £180,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £65 invoiced every year. The lease expires on 21st October 2082
With only 58 years left to run the likely cost is going to span between £22,800 and £26,400 as well as costs.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to supply a more accurate figure without more detailed investigations. You should not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt additional issues that need to be taken into account and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action placing reliance on this information without first getting professional advice.
