I am downsizing from our property in Bebington and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. A local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers instructed a factory type conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Bebington.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. What do they say? You need to enquire of your lawyer before you do anything.

Historically registration occurs after the purchaser has moved in to the premises so registration formalities is not usually top priority yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
