I am downsizing from our property in Grays and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. A high street Grays conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers used an internet conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Grays. We have lived in Grays for three years we know that this is a non issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to get confirmation need.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. 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 health insurance to cover that same illness)

Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly picked up during conveyancing in Grays?

Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in Grays. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’

About to purchase a new build apartment in Grays. Conveyancing is a frightening process 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.

Here is a sample of a few leasehold new build questions that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Grays

The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Please confirm the Lease plans are architect prepared. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? 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.

Due to the input of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Grays ahead of retaining conveyancers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold element to the house. Our surveyor has said that some lenders will refuse to give a mortgage on this type of home.

It varies from the lender to lender. HSBC has different instructions for example to Halifax. Should you wish to telephone us we can check with the appropriate mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Grays. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.
