I am downsizing from our home in Heaton and Jesmond and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Heaton and Jesmond conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the purchasers instructed a national conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Heaton and Jesmond. We have lived in Heaton and Jesmond for 5 years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to obtain confirmation need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm already. What do they say? You should 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 sickness)
