I am soon to complete on the purchase of a house in Beckton but as a consequence of damage from the recent storms I have was able negotiate compensation from the seller of £3k taking the form of a deduction in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of a side agreement yet Lloyds are not allowing this. Why were they notified?
Any solicitor being on the Lloyds conveyancing panel is duty bound to disclose to Lloyds of any amendments to the sale price. If you prohibit your conveyancer to notify the reduction to Lloyds then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Lloyds and you would have to appoint a new conveyancer for your conveyancing in Beckton.
What is the first thing I need to know about purchase conveyancing in Beckton?
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Beckton and elsewhere in London is an adversarial process. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there is an abundance of opportunity for friction between you and other parties involved in the legal transfer of property. For instance, the vendor, selling agent and on occasion the mortgage company. Appointing a law firm for your conveyancing in Beckton is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY person in the process whose role it is to look after your best interests and to protect you.
Every so often a third party with a vested interest will attempt to sway you that it is in your interests to do things their way. As an example, the selling agent may claim to be assisting by suggesting your solicitor is dragging his heels. Or your financial adviser may advise you to do something that is against your lawyers guidance. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my ground floor apartment in Beckton. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, but I have recently received a yearly maintenance charge demand – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
It best that you discharge the maintenance contribution as you normally would because all ground rent and maintenance invoices should be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
