I am intent on selling our property in Blaenau Ffestiniog and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. Any high street Blaenau Ffestiniog lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers instructed a web based conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Blaenau Ffestiniog. Having lived in Blaenau Ffestiniog for six years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to obtain clarification need.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. 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 sickness)

My husband and I are new on the property ladder - had an offer accepted, but the selling agent advised that the seller will only move forward if we instruct their preferred solicitors as they need a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a high street solicitor with experience of conveyancing in Blaenau Ffestiniog

We suspect that the owner is not behind this demand. Should the seller desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious purchaser is likely to cause more damage than good. Contact the vendors directly and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are serious purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you have nothing to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you are going to instruct your preferred Blaenau Ffestiniog conveyancing lawyers - rather thanthose that will provide their negotiator at the agency a commission or hit his conveyancing targets pre-set by HQ.
