We are about to exchange on the purchase of a house in Alperton but as a consequence of wreckage from the recent storms I have managed to agree recompense from the owner of £2k by way of a reduction in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of a side agreement however Coventry BS will not permit this. Why were they notified?
Your property lawyer being on a Coventry BS approved list is duty bound to advise Coventry BS of any variations to the sale price. If you prohibit your conveyancer to notify the price change to Coventry BS then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Coventry BS and you would have to appoint a new lawyer for your conveyancing in Alperton.
It is a dozen years since I purchased my house in Alperton. Conveyancing lawyers have recently been instructed on the sale but I can't track down my title documents. Is this a major issue?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly there is a chance that the deeds will be with your mortgage company or they may be in the possession of the conveyancers who oversaw your purchase. Secondly in most cases the property will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers acquiring up to date copy of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Alperton involves registered property but in the rare situation where your property is not registered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.

The benefit of a local Alperton conveyancing practice is that you can visit the firm to execute paperwork, present your identification documents and apply pressure on them where appropriate.
