We are selling our home in Stow on the Wold and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. A high street Stow on the Wold lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers used a factory type conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Stow on the Wold. Having lived in Stow on the Wold for 4 years we know of no issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to seek confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You should 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)
How does conveyancing in Stow on the Wold differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Stow on the Wold come to us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is constructed. This is because builders in Stow on the Wold usually buy the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Stow on the Wold or who has acted in the same development.

I'm buying a apartment in Stow on the Wold. I have found my conveyancer's company on the Law Society's list, but I can't locate my lawyer's name on the list. Is this a big problem?
Not every individual in the law firm must be listed by the regulator. As long there is someone qualified to 'oversee' the conveyancing, the actual day-to-day activity can be undertaken by unqualified staff.
