My wife and I are downsizing from our house in Gilwern and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. Any high street Gilwern lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the purchasers instructed a national conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Gilwern. Having lived in Gilwern for 5 years we know of no issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to seek clarification that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. What do they say? You need to 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 was recommended by a few property agents in Gilwern to get a quote from a conveyancer using your seach tool. What’s the financial inducement for Estate Agents to market your services rather than alternative conveyancing organisations?
We refuse to give any commission for pointing buyers and sellers our way. We found it would be just too difficult a fee as members of the public would think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
I am intending to sublet my leasehold flat in Gilwern. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask her. Do I need to ask my freeholder for permission?
Some leases for properties in Gilwern do contain a provision to say that subletting is only permitted with prior consent from the landlord. The landlord is not entitled to unreasonably withhold but, in such cases, they would need to see references. Experience suggests that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting consent.
