We are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our house in East Hunsbury and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. Any high street East Hunsbury lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers are using an internet conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in East Hunsbury. Having lived in East Hunsbury for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to obtain confirmation that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor already. Are they able to advise? You need to 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 health insurance to cover that same ailment)
