I am close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our house in Bardsley and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. Any high street Bardsley conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers instructed an internet conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Bardsley. Having lived in Bardsley for three years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to get confirmation need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer already. What do they say? You need to 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 health insurance to cover that same ailment)
I'm purchasing my first flat in Bardsley with the aid of help to buy. The developers would not move on the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead.

I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and found one near me in Bardsley I like with a park and station in the vicinity, however it only has 49 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Bardsley for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
If you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be an issue. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
