I am close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our home in Kirkwhelpington and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. Any high street Kirkwhelpington conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers instructed an online conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Kirkwhelpington. Having lived in Kirkwhelpington for six years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to seek confirmation need.

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 ailment)
I am buying my first flat in Kirkwhelpington benefiting from help to buy. The sellers refused to reduce the price so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The estate agent told me not to tell my lawyer about this deal as it may adversely affect my mortgage with The Royal Bank of Scotland. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and found one round the corner in Kirkwhelpington I like with open areas and station nearby, the downside is that it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Kirkwhelpington in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
If you require a mortgage that many years will be an issue. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you.
