We are due to exchange buying a house in Benton but as a result of wreckage from a small fire at the property I have managed to agree compensation from the seller of £3k by way of a reduction in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of a side agreement however Virgin Money are not allowing this. Why were they notified?

Your lawyer that is on a Virgin Money approved list is duty bound to disclose to Virgin Money of any amendments to the sale price. If you prohibit your lawyer to disclose the price change to Virgin Money then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Virgin Money and you would have to appoint a new lawyer for your conveyancing in Benton.

We are buying a flat and need a conveyancing solicitor in Benton who is on the Virgin Money approved panel. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a solicitor?

Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Virgin Money . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in Benton.

Due to the input of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Benton before retaining solicitors. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. The surveyor has said that some lenders tend not give a mortgage on a flying freehold premises.

It varies from the lender to lender. Lloyds has different instructions from Halifax. Should you wish to telephone us we can investigate further with the relevant lender.

I'm refinancing my current house to a buy to let mortgage with Nationwide Building Society and intend to use the remaining equity towards another house. The area we are talking about is Benton. Will your lawyers be able to act for the two lenders and link together the two deals?

Do use our search tool on this site to ensure that the lawyers are approved by both banks. On the basis that they are the solicitor will be able to simultaneously deal with the two deals but you should talk with you conveyancer and communicate your expectations and needs.

We're new to the buying process - agreed a price, yet the property agent told us that the vendor will only proceed if we appoint their recommended solicitors as they need an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a high street solicitor who is familiar with conveyancing in Benton

We suspect that the seller is unaware of this demand. If they desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a genuine buyer is counter productive. Avoid the agents and go straight to the owners and explain that (a)you are serious purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you will continue to instruct your own,trusted Benton conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will give the negotiator at the agency a referral fee or hit his conveyancing targets set by HQ.
