I am close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our property in Weybridge and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Weybridge lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers are using a factory type conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Weybridge. Having lived in Weybridge for 4 years we know of no issue. Should we contact our local Authority to seek confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. What do they say? You must 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 sickness)

What are the frequently found defects that you come across in leases for Weybridge properties?
Leasehold conveyancing in Weybridge is not unique. All leases are individual and drafting errors can sometimes mean that certain sections are not included. The following missing provisions could result in a defective lease:
-
A provision for the recovery of money spent for the benefit of another party.
A defective lease can cause issues when trying to sell a property as they can affect a potential buyer’s ability to obtain a mortgage. Halifax, Bank of Scotland, and Britannia all have very detailed conveyancing instructions when it comes to what is expected in a lease. Where a lender has been advised by their lawyers that the lease does not cover certain provisions they may refuse to grant the mortgage, obliging the purchaser to withdraw.
