We are downsizing from our house in Beccles and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any local lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers used a nationwide conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Beccles. Having lived in Beccles for many years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to obtain clarification 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.

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.
