Me and my partner are soon to exchange buying a property in Boroughbridge but as a consequence of damage from some water damage at the property I have managed to agree compensation from the owner in the sum of £2k by way of a deduction in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process however Co-operative are not allowing this. Why were they informed?
Any lawyer that is on a Co-operative conveyancing panel is duty bound to disclose to Co-operative of any amendments to the sale price. If you prohibit your conveyancer to report the reduction to Co-operative then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Co-operative and you would have to appoint a new conveyancer for your conveyancing in Boroughbridge.
At what point can the exchange of contracts take place for domestic conveyancing in Boroughbridge and am I required to be at the lawyers office?
Where you are round the corner to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Boroughbridge you are welcome to come in to sign contracts. That being said, the lender approved solicitors we recommend supply countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give just as detailed and professional a job for you when communicating with you by post or email. The signing of the sale agreement is not the critical part. A signed contract is necessary for the conveyancer to officially exchange when the time is right, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The procedure is is usually a five minute process, although where a lengthy "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Boroughbridge)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

My wife and I have a 4 bedroom Victorian house in Boroughbridge. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and The Royal Bank of Scotland. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold with the exact same property. Is it worth asking The Royal Bank of Scotland to clarify?
You should review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Boroughbridge and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also check the position with your conveyancing solicitor who conducted the conveyancing.
I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and identified one close by in Boroughbridge I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Boroughbridge in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a home loan that many years will be problematic. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this.
