I am about to complete buying a house in Ashington but as a consequence of damage from some water damage at the property I have was able negotiate compensation from the current proprietors of £3k taking the form of a reduction in the price. This was going to be addressed as part of the conveyancing process yet Barclays will not agree to this. Should they have been notified?
Any property lawyer that is on a Barclays conveyancing panel is duty bound to advise Barclays of any changes to the purchase price. If you prohibit your solicitor to disclose the price change to Barclays then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Barclays and you would have to appoint a new conveyancing practitioner for your conveyancing in Ashington.

I am selling my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in July 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Bank of Ireland are being pedantic. The Ashington solicitor who is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Bank of Ireland are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Bank of Ireland have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Bank of Ireland have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Bank of Ireland may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
Aldermore have agreed my home loan in principle, my bid on a property in Ashington has been accepted, what are the next steps?
The property agent will want to be advised as to your solicitor's details (ensure that the conveyancing practitioners are on the lender’s approved list). Contact Aldermore or your broker and complete any appropriate paperwork. Aldermore will sellect a valuer who will get in contact with the estate agent or owners to schedule a slot for the valuation to take place. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes on average a fortnight for the mortgage offer to be issued. Aldermore will issue the offer to you and your solicitors. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Ashington.
At last I have had an offer on an apartment in Ashington agreed to, the owners do nevertheless have a dependent purchase. The owners have offered on somewhere, but it’s not yet tied up, and have viewings of other properties in the pipeline. I have selected a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Ashington. What should be my next step? At what stage do I apply for the mortgage with Leeds Building Society?
It is understandable to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (mortgage application is in the region of £1k, then survey, Ashington conveyancing search fees, etc). The first course of action is to ensure that your property lawyer is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. As to the subsequent stages this very much depends on the uniqueness of your case, desire for the property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market many home buyers will apply for the mortgage with Leeds Building Society and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their lawyer to proceed with searches.
Have completed on a a terraced house in Ashington , how long will it take for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing the transfer to my name? My Ashington conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be sure that my purchase is registered.
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Ashington registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can differ depending on who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry must send notices to any third persons or bodies. As of today roughly three quarters of such applications are completed within two weeks but some can be subject to longer hold-ups. Registration takes place once the buyer has moved in to the property thus post completion formalities is not typically an essential issue but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
