Conveyancing in Leiston - what you need to know

One might think that handling the Conveyancing for Leiston property buyers would be a simple affair.  After all the Suffolk town, just 2 miles from the coast near Aldeburgh, has a population of fewer than 6,000 people.

Given the small size of the town, property purchasers should expect an uncomplicated transaction then?  Well yes and no.

There was a large amount of development in the area in the early 80's with the closure of the 'Leiston Works' freeing up a large amount of development land.  Familiarity with this development helps local Solicitors when transacting in this area.

However it is the dominating presence of the two local nuclear power stations (one of which is now decommissioned) that would be of most interest to a Conveyancing Solicitor in Leiston.  Local Authority searches are of course required in any transaction but in an area like this, property lawyer s will be considering these searches and of course the Environmental search, very carefully.  Searches in Leiston would be obtained from Suffolk Coastal District Council.

Local Authority searches will also reveal any plans or proposed changes to the railways as these have been used solely in conjunction with the plants for decades.  This is actually scheduled to come to an end in 2012 so watch this space.
