My wife and I are downsizing from our house in Stocksfield and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. Any high street Stocksfield lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the purchasers instructed a factory type conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Stocksfield. Having lived in Stocksfield for three years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to get clarification that the buyers are looking for.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor already. What do they say? You must check with your lawyer before you do anything.

How does conveyancing in Stocksfield differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Stocksfield approach us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is constructed. This is because developers in Stocksfield usually purchase the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Stocksfield or who has acted in the same development.
