Seems to me that most trading laws are to protect the customer from being misled by the seller with a lot of onus on the seller having to define what they are selling. Yes buyers get searches done by solicitors. Seems to me now that planning authorities are trying to make HERs compulsory, that any information or consideration about the archaeology of the site is a potential liability and everybody SELLING land and particularly that which is intended for development should consider the cost of archaeology particularly if they have had more time on that land and should therefore be more informed than the buyer.

archaeological deposits are intangible until they are in an archive. how could a seller define an intangible?
If they can get you asking the wrong questions, they don't have to worry about answers
