My wife and I are due to exchange buying a house in Tower Hill but as a consequence of damage from the recent storms I have was able negotiate compensation from the current proprietors in the sum of £3k taking the form of a deduction in the price. I had intended this to be addressed as part of a side agreement yet will not agree to this. Why were they notified?

My wife and I are downsizing from our home in Tower Hill and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. Any local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the purchasers instructed a nationwide conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Tower Hill. We have lived in Tower Hill for many years we know of no issue. Should we contact our local Authority to get clarification need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer already. Are they able to advise? 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 life insurance to cover that same ailment)
How does conveyancing in Tower Hill differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Tower Hill approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because house builders in Tower Hill typically acquire 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 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 Tower Hill or who has acted in the same development.
