My partner and I are downsizing from our home in Billesdon and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. Any high street Billesdon lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the purchasers used an online conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Billesdon. We have lived in Billesdon for six years we know of no issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to obtain confirmation that there is no issue.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. What do they say? You must check with 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 ailment)

It has been 4 months since my purchase conveyancing in Billesdon took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £160,000. 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 property 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.

I'm buying a new build house in Billesdon with a loan from Bank of Ireland. The builders would not reduce the amount so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The sale representative told me not inform my lawyer about the deal as it would put at risk my loan with Bank of Ireland. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

I have just appointed agents to market my garden apartment in Billesdon. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, but I have recently had a quarterly maintenance charge demand – what should I do?

It best that you discharge the service charge as usual as all rents and maintenance invoices will be allotted on completion, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
