My partner and I are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our home in Timperley and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. A high street Timperley conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers instructed an online conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Timperley. We have lived in Timperley for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Do we contact our local Authority to seek confirmation that there is no issue.
