I am close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our house in Kirkby in Ashfield and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer 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 health insurance to cover that same ailment)

How does conveyancing in Kirkby in Ashfield differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Kirkby in Ashfield contact us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is built. This is because builders in Kirkby in Ashfield tend to buy the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Kirkby in Ashfield or who has acted in the same development.
