My wife and I are intent on selling our house in Brigg and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. A high street Brigg lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers are using a factory type conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Brigg. Having lived in Brigg for 4 years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to get clarification need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You should 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 health insurance to cover that same sickness)

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Brigg is the location of the property. Can you offer any advice?
Flying freeholds in Brigg are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Brigg you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Brigg may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
