I am downsizing from our home in Moss Nook and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. A high street Moss Nook conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers used a national conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Moss Nook. Having lived in Moss Nook for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to obtain confirmation need.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm already. Are they able to advise? You should 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 4 months following my purchase conveyancing in Moss Nook took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £215,000. 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 my first flat in Moss Nook with the aid of help to buy. The sellers would not reduce the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The property agent suggested that I not inform my lawyer about this deal as it will put at risk my mortgage with Nationwide Building Society. Is this normal?.

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've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in last month in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Moss Nook is the location of the property. Can you offer any opinion?

Flying freeholds in Moss Nook are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Moss Nook you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Moss Nook 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 premises.
