I am planning on selling our house in Oldham and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. A local lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers instructed a nationwide conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Oldham. Having lived in Oldham for six years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to get confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer already. What do they say? You should 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)

Back In 2002, I bought a leasehold flat in Oldham. Conveyancing and Aldermore mortgage went though with no issue. I have received a letter from someone claiming to own the reversionary interest in the property. It included a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1991. The conveyancing practitioner in Oldham who acted for me is not around. Do I pay?
The first thing you should do is make enquiries of HMLR to be sure that the individual claiming to own the freehold is in fact the new freeholder. There is no need to instruct a Oldham conveyancing solicitor to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for £3. Rest assured that in any event, even if this is the legitimate landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.

Who are the managing agents? For most Oldham leaseholds the cost for major works tend not to be built into the maintenance charges, albeit that some managing agents in Oldham require tenants to contribute towards a sinking fund and this is used to offset against larger repairs or maintenance. How much is the service charge and ground rent on the apartment?
How does one as executor remove a departed person's details from the title deeds for a house in Oldham?
Where a Oldham property is jointly owned and one of the owners dies, the name will not automatically be removed from the title deeds. It is not necessary to remove their name as in the event of a sale you would simply be required to evidence why the other owner is missing from the transfer, typically this takes the form of a grant of probate.
With the aim of making things simpler for the sale of the property you can arrange to have the deceased person removed from the title by submitting an application to HMLR with evidence of the death. There is no charge from the Registry for this service.
