My wife and I are downsizing from our house in Bedworth and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. A local lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers used an internet conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Bedworth. Having lived in Bedworth for six years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to get clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer already. What do they say? You must 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 health insurance to cover that same ailment)

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Bedworth is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Bedworth are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Bedworth you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Bedworth 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 residence.
I today plan to offer on a house that seems to be perfect, at a reasonable price which is making it more attractive. I have since been informed that it's a leasehold as opposed to freehold. I would have thought that there are particular concerns buying a house with a leasehold title in Bedworth. Conveyancing solicitors have are about to be appointed. Will my lawyers set out the risks of buying a leasehold house in Bedworth ?
