I am selling our house in Barton Upon Humber and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. Any local conveyancer would know this is not the case.

Having lived in Barton Upon Humber for 4 years we know that this is a non issue. Should we get in touch with 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. What do they say? You need to 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 health insurance to cover that same ailment)
How does conveyancing in Barton Upon Humber differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Barton Upon Humber come to us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is finished. This is because builders in Barton Upon Humber typically acquire the site, 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 Barton Upon Humber or who has acted in the same development.
