The conveyancing charges for a leasehold property in Coxhoe is frequently more expensive than on a freehold property. This is due to the additional work necessary in communicating with the landlord and managing agents to obtain information about whether the rent and service charges have been discharged and whether there are any large sums expected to be spent in the near future on repairs or maintenance of the building.

I am selling our house in Coxhoe and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Coxhoe conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers instructed a nationwide conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Coxhoe. We have lived in Coxhoe for 4 years we know that this is a non 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 lawyer already. Are they able to advise? 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)
