I am selling our house in Meir and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. A high street Meir lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the purchasers are using an internet conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Meir. Having lived in Meir for 4 years we know that this is a non issue. Should we contact our local Authority to seek confirmation that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. 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 ailment)
I'm buying my first flat in Meir with a mortgage from Accord Mortgages Ltd. The sellers would not move on the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
I was recommended by a couple of local property agents in Meir to select a solicitor on your site. Is there a financial upside for Estate Agents to offer your lawyers over another?
We don’t give any financial incentive for directing people in our direction. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission because a client could think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I receiving any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
My father has suggested that I appoint his lawyers for conveyancing in Meir. Should I use them?
There are no two ways about it the ideal way to select a conveyancing practitioner is to seek feedback from friends or relatives who have used the conveyancer you're are thinking of instructing.
