Why is leasehold purchase conveyancing in Lunt is more expensive?

The conveyancing fees for a leasehold premises in Lunt is inevitably higher when contrasted to a freehold acquisition or disposal. This is because there is an amount of additional investigations necessary in liaising with the landlord and management company to collate the evidence about whether the rent and maintenance charges have been cleared and whether there are any significant expenditure in the near future on repairs or maintenance of the block.

I am intent on selling our house in Lunt and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. Any high street Lunt lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers instructed an internet conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Lunt. Having lived in Lunt for many years we know that this is a non issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to obtain clarification that the buyers are looking for.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer already. Are they able to advise? You need to 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 life insurance to cover that same illness)
