Not many law firms shout this from the rooftops but conveyancing in Burslem or throughout Staffordshire is often a confrontational process. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there is lots of opportunity for conflict between you and other parties involved in the legal transfer of property. For example, the vendor, selling agent and sometimes your mortgage company.

I am selling our home in Burslem and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any local conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the purchasers instructed a factory type conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Burslem. We have lived in Burslem for 4 years we know that this is a non issue. Do we contact our local Authority to get confirmation that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. What do they say? You should 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 ailment)
