We are downsizing from our home in Crick and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. Any high street Crick conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers instructed a national conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Crick. We have lived in Crick for 5 years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to seek confirmation need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm 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 ailment)
How does conveyancing in Crick differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Crick come to us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is completed. This is because house builders in Crick usually purchase the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Crick or who has acted in the same development.
