For the life of me I don't know why the buyers are using a web based conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Hassocks. Having lived in Hassocks for 5 years we know of no issue. Should we contact our local Authority to seek confirmation that there is no issue.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. What do they say? 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 life insurance to cover that same ailment)
