I am close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our property in Knutsford and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. A high street Knutsford lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers instructed an online conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Knutsford. Having lived in Knutsford for 4 years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to obtain clarification that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm already. Are they able to advise? You must 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)

Registration takes place after the new owner is living at the property thus 'speed' is not always an essential issue yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor must speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
