My wife and I are selling our house in Stockwell and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. A high street Stockwell lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the purchasers used a web based conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Stockwell. We have lived in Stockwell for 4 years we know of no issue. Do we contact our local Authority to seek confirmation need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm 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 health insurance to cover that same sickness)

I've recently bought a leasehold house in Stockwell. Do I have any liability for service charges relating to a period prior to my ownership?
Where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous owner and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. However, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. A critical element of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to ensure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).
