I am selling our house in Melling and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. A high street Melling lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers are using an online conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Melling. We have lived in Melling for many years we know of no issue. Do we contact our local Authority to seek confirmation need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor already. 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 illness)

I'm buying a new build house in Melling with a loan from Britannia. The developers refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent suggested that I not reveal to my conveyancer about the extras as it could put at risk my mortgage with the bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
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.
