My wife and I are intent on selling our home in Peterston Super Ely and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. A high street Peterston Super Ely conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers instructed a national conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Peterston Super Ely.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. What do they say? 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 Peterston Super Ely differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Peterston Super Ely contact us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is ready to move into. This is because builders in Peterston Super Ely usually acquire 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 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Peterston Super Ely or who has acted in the same development.
