My partner and I are selling our property in Grimsby and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. Any high street Grimsby lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers used a nationwide conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Grimsby. Having lived in Grimsby for many years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to obtain clarification need.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor already. Are they able to advise? You need to check with your lawyer before you do anything.

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my 2 bed flat in Grimsby. Conveyancing has not commenced, however I have just received a half-yearly service charge invoice – Do I pay up?

It best that you pay the service charge as normal as all rents and maintenance invoices will be apportioned on completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
