Contaminated Ground! A weird one.
FTB. We have just received surveye from our solicitor. The house we are hoping to purchase was part of an old mill development. The developers didn't satisfy the local authorities planning stipulations.
So essentially the local authority have not discharged one of their conditions due to lack of evidence. The ground was contaminated by all sorts of corrosive chemicals. They developers have dug pits, laid concrete and imported soil.
The issue is the developers have gone into administration. And the insurance company will not provide indemnity insurance.
I'm gussing we walk away? Which is a real shame.
