We are about to exchange on the purchase of a property in Birchington but as a consequence of wreckage from the recent storms I have was able negotiate compensation from the owner of three thousand pounds by way of a adjustment in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process however Barclays will not agree to this. Why were they approached?
Any lawyer being on a Barclays conveyancing panel is duty bound to advise Barclays of any changes to the sale price. If you were to refuse your lawyer to notify the reduction 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 Birchington.

There is lots of here about conveyancing in Birchington but can you isolate your top tip for selecting the right conveyancer in Birchington
We would encourage you not to base your choice on the lowest Birchington conveyancing quote. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.
I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Birchington. I have a mortgage agreed with Kent Reliance. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Kent Reliance, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel.
Planning on purchasing a maisonette in Birchington. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Birchington conveyancer is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel.

We're new to the buying process - had an offer accepted, yet the estate agent has warned us that the owners will only proceed if we appoint the agent's recommended conveyancers as they want an ‘expedited deal’.

It is unlikely the vendors are behind this. If they require ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious buyer is not the way to achieve this. Speak to the owners direct and make the point that (a)you are genuine buyers (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you intend to use your preferred Birchington conveyancing solicitors - as opposed tothe ones that will earn the negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or hit his conveyancing targets set by HQ.
