We are intent on selling our property in Stockton on Tees and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. A high street Stockton on Tees conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers used an internet conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Stockton on Tees. We have lived in Stockton on Tees for six years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to seek clarification need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm already. 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 life insurance to cover that same ailment)
How does conveyancing in Stockton on Tees differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Stockton on Tees contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because house builders in Stockton on Tees usually purchase the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Stockton on Tees or who has acted in the same development.
I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in Stockton on Tees I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 61 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Stockton on Tees in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
If you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be problematic. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you may ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
