I am planning on selling our house in Tarporley and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any local conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers instructed an online conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Tarporley. Having lived in Tarporley for 5 years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to seek clarification need.
It would appear that you 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 life insurance to cover that same ailment)
