I am planning on selling our property in Temple Fortune and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Temple Fortune conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers instructed a national conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Temple Fortune. Having lived in Temple Fortune for six years we know that this is a non issue. Do we contact our local Authority to seek clarification need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. 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 sickness)
