It is possible that they would have transacted previoushouses in the same neighbourhood. You would be best advised to use a Spennymoor conveyancing lawyer. In addition, double check that the conveyancing firm is on the on the approved list for your mortgage company. It is understood that nearly one in five of Spennymoor conveyancing deals are frustrated or jeopardised after discovering a buyer’s lawyer was not on their banks member panel. In many cases this discovery resulted in the legal transfer of property being frustrated by almost three weeks. It is estimated that this issue affects in the region of 100,000 home moves annually. Many Spennymoor conveyancing practices can not represent certain mortgage companies so do check at the outset.

My partner and I are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our house in Spennymoor and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. Any high street Spennymoor conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the purchasers are using a nationwide conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Spennymoor. Having lived in Spennymoor for three years we know of no issue. Should we contact our local Authority to get clarification that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor already. What do they say? You must 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 life insurance to cover that same illness)
