My partner and I are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our house in Newquay and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. Any local conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers are using a web based conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Newquay. We have lived in Newquay for six years we know of no issue. Do we contact our local Authority to seek confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You should 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)
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and identified one near me in Newquay I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Newquay in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will be an issue. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you can ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this.

I have recently realised that I have Sixty One years remaining on my lease in Newquay. I now want to get lease extension but my freeholder 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 apply to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will enable the lease to be extended by the Court. You will be obliged to prove that you have made all reasonable attempts to locate the landlord. In some cases a specialist should be helpful to conduct investigations and to produce a report to be used as evidence that the landlord is indeed missing. It is wise to seek advice from a conveyancer in relation to devolving into the landlord’s disappearance and the application to the County Court covering Newquay.
I acquired a studio flat in Newquay, conveyancing formalities finalised 1995. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease?

With 50 years remaining on your lease we estimate the price of your lease extension to span between £36,100 and £41,800 as well as professional fees.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to advice on a more accurate figure in the absence of comprehensive due diligence. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional concerns that need to be considered and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action placing reliance on this information without first getting professional advice.
My folks are unable to locate their Newquay land registry title on the site. They have a vague memory back in the 60’s when they acquired the house there were complications concerning Newquay not being recognised in some systems.
Almost all properties in Newquay should show up. Have you limited your search to simply the postcode. Usually it will identify all the houses and flats inside the postcode. Where recorded it will show up with a title number. Where they bought back in the 60’s it's conceivable it may be not yet registered. The address might still be revealed but with the title number identified as 'na'. In this scenario you will need to find the original title deeds which could be with your parent’s lender.
