I am planning on selling our home in Woodbridge and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. A local lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers instructed a nationwide conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Woodbridge. Having lived in Woodbridge for three years we know that this is a non issue. Do we contact local Authority to seek confirmation need.
It sounds as though you may 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 health insurance to cover that same illness)
How does conveyancing in Woodbridge differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Woodbridge contact us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is ready to move into. This is because builders in Woodbridge typically purchase the real estate, 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 Woodbridge or who has acted in the same development.
