Buying and selling
Since July 2001, any solicitor helping you to buy or sell your home should include contaminated land issues within their searches. If searches reveal potential contamination or a potentially problematic historic use of an area, they usually make further enquiries with us.
If you think contaminated land may be a problem at your property and you bought it after 2001, please contact your solicitor as they should have alerted you to this.
As well as an environmental report, a Local Land Charges search may be carried out, to tell you if the property or area is on our register.
Contaminated Land register (note that currently this register is empty).
