My partner and I are selling our property in Purfleet and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. A local lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers instructed an internet conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Purfleet. Having lived in Purfleet for three years we know that this is a non issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to seek clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm already. 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 health insurance to cover that same ailment)
I used Stirling Law several years past for my conveyancing in Purfleet. I now require my file however the law firm has closed. What do I do?

I am buying a new build house in Purfleet with a mortgage from Halifax. The builders refused to budge the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent suggested that I not reveal to my conveyancer about the side-deal as it will impact my mortgage with the bank. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer 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.
Do I need to be suspicious that brokers that I am dealing with are suggesting a factory type conveyancing firm as opposed to a local Purfleet conveyancing firm?
As is the case with many professional services, often input from connections can be extremely useful or valuable. Yet there are numerous people with a keen interest in a conveyancing matter; estate agents, mortgage brokers and lenders may put forward solicitors to use. Sometimes the solicitors might be known to one of the organisations as experts in their field, but sometimes there might be a financial incentive behind the endorsement. You have the right to select your preferred conveyancer. You need to be aware that most banks specify a panel list of law firms you are obliged to use for the mortgage related work in your conveyancing.
