It is not clear whether my lender obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called my Crewe bank branch on a couple of occasions and was informed it wasn't a problem and they will lend.

Your must follow the CML Handbook section two conditions for your bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase.

I am downsizing from our property in Crewe and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. A high street Crewe lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers are using a factory type conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Crewe. We have lived in Crewe for three years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to seek clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. What do they say? You must 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 ailment)
