My partner and I are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our house in Langport and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. A high street Langport conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers are using an internet conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Langport. We have lived in Langport for 5 years we know of no issue. Should we contact our local Authority to obtain clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. What do they say? You need to check with your lawyer before you do anything.

How does conveyancing in Langport differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Langport come to us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is finished. This is because developers in Langport usually purchase 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 used to new build conveyancing in Langport or who has acted in the same development.

My aim is to acquire a ground floor maisonette in Langport. Conveyancing lawyer is awaiting, from the seller, building insurance documents. Earlier today I was advised that the vendor must forward the insurance documents for the flat above also. Why would my solicitor need to see the insurance for the other flat? Is it really required? We have been in hold for the last fortnight…
It is not impossible in leasehold conveyancing in Langport to find Conveyancing in Langport in a minority of cases reveals that the lease provides for the tenant's to insure their individual flats as opposed to the freeholder insuring the entire property - which is definitely better.
