I am selling our home in Fairford and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. Any local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers are using an online conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Fairford. Having lived in Fairford for six years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to obtain confirmation that there is no issue.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor already. What do they say? 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 health insurance to cover that same illness)

What makes a Fairford lease defective?

There is nothing unique about leasehold conveyancing in Fairford. Most leases are drafted differently and legal mistakes in the legal wording can sometimes mean that certain sections are missing. The following missing provisions could result in a defective lease:

Maintenance charge proportions which don’t add up to the correct percentage Insurance obligations

You will have a problem when selling your property if you have a defective lease as they can affect a potential buyer’s ability to obtain a mortgage. Yorkshire Building Society, Leeds Building Society, and Barclays Direct all have express requirements when it comes to what is expected in a lease. If a mortgage lender believes that the lease does not cover certain provisions they may refuse to provide security, obliging the purchaser to pull out.

Fairford Leasehold Conveyancing - A selection of Questions you should consider before Purchasing

If a Fairford lease has fewer than 80 years it will have adverse implications on the value of the flat. Check with your mortgage company that they are willing to lend given the lease term. A short lease means that you will probably require a lease extension at some point and you need to have some idea of how much this would cost. Remember, in most cases you would be required to have been the owner of the property for 24 months before you are entitled to extend the lease. The answer will be important as a) areas can result in problems in the block as the communal areas may begin to deteriorate where maintenance are not paid for b) if the leasehold owners have a dispute with the running of the building you will need to have full disclosure It would be sensible to discover as much as you can regarding the company managing the building as they can either make life much simpler or problematic. As the proprietor of a leasehold property you are often at the mercy of the managing agents from a financial perspective and when it comes to day to day matters like the tidiness of the communal areas. Ask prospective neighbours what they think of them. On a final note, find out the dates that you are obliged pay the maintenance charge to the managing agents and specifically what you get for your money.
