My fiancee and I are acquiring our first home. Our conveyancer has texted usto enquire if we wish to purchase additional conveyancing searches. Frankly we have no idea as to what's recommended for conveyancing in Castle Eden

The extent of Castle Eden conveyancing searches should be triggered based primarily on the premises, the location, the likelihood of any of these risks, your familiarity of the locality and risks, your general approach to risk. What matters is that you properly comprehend what information each search could supply. Then you can make a decision if you personally think you need that search. Should you be uncertain, ask your conveyancer to advise.

We are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our house in Castle Eden and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. Any high street Castle Eden lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers instructed a national conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Castle Eden. We have lived in Castle Eden for 4 years we know that this is a non issue. Do we contact our local Authority to obtain clarification that there is no issue.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor already. 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 health insurance to cover that same illness)

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and identified one close by in Castle Eden I like with a park and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 61 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Castle Eden in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?

Should you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be problematic. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.

We're new to the buying process - had an offer accepted, but the agent told us that the owners will only proceed if we use their preferred lawyers as they need an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a high street solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Castle Eden

We suspect that the owner is unaware of this request. Should the vendor desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious buyer is not the way to achieve this. Contact the vendors directly and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you are going to use your own,trusted Castle Eden conveyancing solicitors - rather thanthose that will earn their negotiator at the agency a commission or hit his conveyancing thresholds pre-set by senior management.

Should one as executor remove a deceased person's name from the title register for a house in Castle Eden?

Where a Castle Eden property is co-owned and one of the proprietors passes away, the name will not immediately be removed from the Land Registry title. You are not required to remove their name as in the event of a disposal your conveyancer would simply be required to supply proof as to the reason the other proprietor is not a party to the conveyance, such as a grant of probate.

With a view to making things more straight forward in the future you can arrange to have the deceased party erased from the title entries by submitting an application to HMLR with proof of the death. There is no land registry fee payable.
