My wife and I are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our house in Old Swan and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. A high street Old Swan conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers instructed a national conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Old Swan. We have lived in Old Swan for three years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to obtain clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you 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 ailment)
