We are selling our house in Aston on Trent and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. A high street Aston on Trent conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers used an online conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Aston on Trent. Having lived in Aston on Trent for six years we know of no issue. Do we contact our local Authority to obtain clarification need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You need to 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)
It has been five months since my purchase conveyancing in Aston on Trent concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the asset from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Aston on Trent is the location of the property. Is there any guidance you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Aston on Trent are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Aston on Trent you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Aston on Trent may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
How does the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my business property in Aston on Trent and how can you help?
The 1954 Act gives security of tenure to business leaseholders, granting the right to apply to court for a renewal lease and continue in occupation at the end of the lease term. There are certain specified grounds that a landlord can refuse a lease renewal and the rules are complicated. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing.

My brother has suggested that I instruct his conveyancers in Aston on Trent. Should I find my own solicitor?
Much as we are happy to recommend a Aston on Trent conveyancing lawyer the best way to find a conveyancing lawyer is to get guidance from friends or relatives who have previously instructed the solicitor that you are contemplating using.
