We are planning on selling our house in Winchcombe and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. A high street Winchcombe conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers used an online conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Winchcombe. We have lived in Winchcombe for many years we know that this is a non issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to get clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer already. What do they say? You should check with your lawyer before you do anything.

How does conveyancing in Winchcombe differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Winchcombe approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is completed. This is because house builders in Winchcombe usually buy 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 conveyancers 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Winchcombe or who has acted in the same development.
