My partner and I are selling our home in St Margarets and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. A local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers instructed a nationwide conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in St Margarets. Having lived in St Margarets for three years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to seek confirmation need.
