We are downsizing from our property in Gants Hill and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. A high street Gants Hill conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers are using an online conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Gants Hill. We have lived in Gants Hill for three years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to seek clarification that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. What do they say? You must 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 illness)
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Gants Hill is where the house is located. Can you offer any advice?

Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Gants Hill may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
