We are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our home in Winslow and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. A high street Winslow conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the purchasers instructed a web based conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Winslow. We have lived in Winslow for many years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to obtain clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? 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 sickness)

How does conveyancing in Winslow differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Winslow come to us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is constructed. This is because developers in Winslow tend to acquire the real estate, 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 Winslow or who has acted in the same development.
