Conveyancing in Liverpool – Purchase of a freehold semi-detached house

Hayes Drive, Liverpool

For Conveyancing in Liverpool, the team have chalked up another success; this time handling the purchase Conveyancing for a freehold semi-detached house on Hayes Drive, Melling Downs, Liverpool, Merseyside, L31 for a property valued at £130,000.

The transaction was completed in July 2010. Catherine Williams, the Property Lawyer that headed the transaction, needed to take extra precautions as land within the city of Liverpool may have historically been used for a number of different purposes. Industrial development within Liverpool was wide-spread and industries may have used a variety of materials or substances, which over time, through disposal, leaks and spillages may have found their way into the ground. These substances may still be present in the ground above natural or acceptable levels. Contaminated land has a specific legal definition which relates to an unacceptable risk of harm to human health or pollution of the environment.

It is important to know if the property you are selling or purchasing has previously been used for any potentially-contaminative uses, which your Conveyancing Solicitor will identify to you. If the land is investigated and found to be contaminated, then it will require cleaning up, at the expense of the person responsible. In the majority of cases this will be the original polluter of the land, however if they cannot be found then the current owner of the land may be liable for cleaning it up. If a developer bought land knowing it was polluted, and did not clean it up adequately then they may be potentially liable for the clean-up costs.
