I am selling our home in Sewardstonebury and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. A high street Sewardstonebury conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers are using a web based conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Sewardstonebury. We have lived in Sewardstonebury for many years we know that this is a non issue. Do we contact our local Authority to seek confirmation that there is no issue.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm already. Are they able to advise? You must 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)

My husband and I are new to the buying process - agreed a price, but the property agent advised that the owners will only proceed if we instruct their chosen conveyancers as they want an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a family conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Sewardstonebury

We suspect that the seller is unaware of this request. If they want ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a genuine buyer is counter productive. Bypass the agents and go straight to the owners and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you will continue to use your preferred Sewardstonebury conveyancing solicitors - as opposed tothose that will provide the negotiator at the agency a commission or achieve conveyancing thresholds set by senior management.
