My partner and I are planning on selling our house in Torrington and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. Any high street Torrington conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers used a factory type conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Torrington. Having lived in Torrington for 4 years we know of no issue. Do we contact our local Authority to get clarification that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You must enquire of 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 illness)
The deeds to our home can not be found. The conveyancers who dealt with the conveyancing in Torrington 4 years ago have long since closed. What are my options?
