I am downsizing from our home in Swinton and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. Any high street Swinton lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers used an internet conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Swinton. Having lived in Swinton for many years we know of no issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to seek confirmation need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor already. Are they able to advise? You need to 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)

How does conveyancing in Swinton differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Swinton contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is completed. This is because new home sellers in Swinton tend to acquire the real estate, 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 conveyancers 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Swinton or who has acted in the same development.
Due to the guidance of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Swinton before appointing lawyers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold element to the property. My surveyor has said that some banks tend not issue a mortgage on such a premises.
It depends who your proposed lender is. Bank of Scotland has different instructions for example to Halifax. Should you wish to call us we can look into this further with the relevant mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Swinton. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Swinton to see if the conveyancing will be more expensive.
