We are downsizing from our property in Leeds 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 that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the purchasers used a factory type conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Leeds. Having lived in Leeds for three years we know of no issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to seek confirmation need.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm already. Are they able to advise? 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 illness)

Speak to the owners direct and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you are going to instruct your own,trusted Leeds conveyancing firm - not the ones that will give the estate agent a introducer fee or hit his conveyancing thresholds demanded by HQ.
