The owners have rather assertive sellers who has recommended a preliminary contract with a non-refundable deposit two thousand pounds. Are such contracts appropriate for Northumberland Heath conveyancing transactions?
This form of agreement isn't common in Northumberland Heath, conveyancers are not keen on them as they detract from the main conveyancing focus and if you end up having your deposit forfeited then the solicitor at best left with an upset client and at worst a litigious one. Secondly, there is no guarantee that just because the owner has entered into an exclusivity contract they will complete the sale with you. They may be in contravention of the agreement if they receive sufficient offer to do so because a wronged party with the benefit of a lockout agreement will still be obliged show losses as a consequence of the breach and these may not amount to the extra amount that your seller may secure by breaching the contract, no matter how morally reprehensible the behaviour is.

I am selling our home in Northumberland Heath and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated.

We have lived in Northumberland Heath for six years we know that this is a non issue. Should we contact our local Authority to get clarification that the buyers are looking for.
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 sickness)
