My wife and I are due to complete on the purchase of a property in Batheaston but as a result of wreckage from the recent storms I have managed to agree compensation from the seller of £2k by way of a deduction in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of a side agreement however Kent Reliance are not allowing this. Why were they notified?
Your conveyancing practitioner being on the Kent Reliance approved list is obliged to disclose to Kent Reliance of any changes to the purchase price. If you were to refuse your property lawyer to disclose the price change to Kent Reliance then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Kent Reliance and you would have to appoint a new conveyancer for your conveyancing in Batheaston.
Is it necessary during the course of the conveyancing process to visit the offices of the solicitor to execute the mortgage deed? If so, I will instruct a firm who offer conveyancing in Batheaston so that I can pop in to their offices if required.
As opposed to 15 years ago, the vast majority mortgage companies no longer oblige their conveyancing panel lawyer to witness the borrowers signature. You will still be obliged to hand over ID documents and there are still distinct benefits to choosing a local practitioner, in your situation a conveyancing solicitor in Batheaston.
It has been four months following my purchase conveyancing in Batheaston concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the asset from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build flat in Batheaston. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build conveyancing.

My step-father has recommend that I instruct his conveyancers in Batheaston. Should I use them?
Much as we are happy to recommend a Batheaston conveyancing lawyer it’s preferable to find a conveyancing lawyer is to get referrals from friends or relatives who have actually experience in using the solicitor you're considering.
My wife and I have selected a Batheaston conveyancing solicitor for our house purchase (first time buyers) and have noticed in the engagement letter that they are not covered by the FCA. Should I be concerned or is that the norm with property lawyer?
We can't see why they should be. Most property lawyer don't lend money. They will be governed by the Solicitors Regulation Authority, who have specific laws covering monies sitting in their bank.
