My partner and I are intent on selling our property in Upton and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. Any high street Upton conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers instructed a nationwide conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Upton. We have lived in Upton for 4 years we know that this is a non issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to get clarification that there is no issue.

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 sickness)
