We are downsizing from our house in Martlesham Heath and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. A high street Martlesham Heath lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers used a web based conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Martlesham Heath. We have lived in Martlesham Heath for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Should we contact our local Authority to obtain clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You should 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 health insurance to cover that same sickness)
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly picked up as part of conveyancing in Martlesham Heath?
Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in Martlesham Heath. 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…’
Due to the input of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Martlesham Heath ahead of appointing solicitors. I have been told that there is a flying freehold element to the property. My surveyor advised that some lenders may refuse to give a mortgage on this type of premises.
