My wife and I are planning on selling our home in Arlesey 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 Arlesey conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers used an online conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Arlesey. We have lived in Arlesey for three years we know of no issue. Do we contact our local Authority to get confirmation that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor already. What do they say? You need to check with your lawyer before you do anything.

How does conveyancing in Arlesey differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Arlesey contact us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because developers in Arlesey usually buy the land, 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Arlesey or who has acted in the same development.

If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Arlesey. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.
