My wife and I are downsizing from our home in Blagdon and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. A high street Blagdon lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers used an online conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Blagdon. Having lived in Blagdon for 4 years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to seek clarification that there is no issue.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor already. What do they say? You should 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 life insurance to cover that same ailment)

I'm purchasing a new build house in Blagdon with a loan from Virgin Money. The builders would not reduce the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The property agent suggested that I not to tell my lawyer about the side-deal as it will jeopardize my mortgage with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder 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.
