My wife and I are planning on selling our home in South Woodham Ferrers and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. Any local conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers instructed an online conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in South Woodham Ferrers. We have lived in South Woodham Ferrers for six years we know of no issue. Should we contact our local Authority to get confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer already. Are they able to advise? 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 ailment)
The deeds to our property are lost. The conveyancers who did the conveyancing in South Woodham Ferrers 4 years ago have long since closed. What do I do?
Gone are the days when you need to hold title official documentation to establish that you own the land or premises, as the Land Registry have everything they need in a digital format.
I am buying my first flat in South Woodham Ferrers with a loan from Yorkshire Building Society. The sellers would not reduce the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The property agent advised me not reveal to my lawyer about the side-deal as it may adversely affect my mortgage with Yorkshire Building Society. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

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.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in last month in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. South Woodham Ferrers is the location of the property. What do you suggest?

If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
