We are due to exchange buying a house in Belbroughton but as a consequence of wreckage from the recent storms I have was able negotiate compensation from the current proprietors of £3k in the form of a reduction in the price. I had intended this to be addressed as part of the conveyancing process however Skipton will not agree to this. Why were they approached?
Any lawyer being on the Skipton conveyancing panel is required to inform Skipton of any variations to the purchase price. If you were to refuse your property lawyer to report the price change to Skipton then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Skipton and you would have to appoint a new conveyancing practitioner for your conveyancing in Belbroughton.
It is is a decade since I bought my property in Belbroughton. Conveyancing solicitors have now been retained on the sale but I can't locate the title documents. Is this a major issue?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly the deeds may be kept by the lender or they could be archived with the solicitor who oversaw the purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the property will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers obtaining current official copies of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Belbroughton relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is not registered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.

There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Belbroughton registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can vary subject to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry have to notify any third parties. As of today approximately three quarters of submission are fully dealt with within 12 days but some can be subject to longer delays. Registration takes place once the new owner is living at the property thus 'speed' is not usually primary concern but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers could contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.

Because on completion the funds will pass between the banks of the buyer and owner’s conveyancer and currently this can only happen on a business day. It is not possible to complete on a saturday or sunday either.
