We are due to exchange buying a property in Bognor Regis but as a result of wreckage from some water damage at the property I have was able negotiate recompense from the seller in the sum of £3k taking the form of a adjustment in the price. This was going to be addressed as part of amending the contract yet Aldermore will not agree to this. Why were they informed?
Any conveyancing practitioner being on a Aldermore approved list is duty bound to advise Aldermore of any changes to the purchase price. If you were to refuse your conveyancing practitioner to disclose the reduction to Aldermore then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Aldermore and you would have to appoint a new property lawyer for your conveyancing in Bognor Regis.
Can I be sure that the Bognor Regis conveyancing solicitor on the Coventry BS panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Bognor Regis seeking recommendations is a good start. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one which is cheap as chips. We would always advocate that you speak with the solicitor handling your conveyancing.
I am buying a property in Bognor Regis. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. UBS have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
As your lender is UBS your lawyer must comply with the formal requirements outlined in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for UBS. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook includes minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to UBS where a lease does not satisfy these conditions. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not isolated to Bognor Regis.
I am due to exchange contracts on my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in June 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Principality are being problematic. The Bognor Regis solicitor who is on the Principality conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Principality are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Principality have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Principality have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Principality may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build flat in Bognor Regis. Conveyancing is necessary evil 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 legal work.
Set out below is a sample of a selection of leasehold new build enquiries that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Bognor Regis

Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. Please supply a car parking plan.

We're novice buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the agent informed us that the owners will only go ahead if we appoint the agent's preferred lawyers as they want an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a family conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Bognor Regis
We suspect that the seller is unaware of this requirement. Should the owner desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Try to communicate with the owners directly and explain that (a)you are motivated buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you are going to instruct your preferred Bognor Regis conveyancing firm - rather thanthe ones that will give their estate agent a referral fee or meet his conveyancing thresholds pre-set by head office.
