My wife and I are due to complete buying a property in Burgess Hill but as a result of wreckage from some water damage at the property I have was able negotiate recompense from the owner in the sum of £3k by way of a adjustment in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process however RBS will not permit this. Why were they approached?

The property lawyer being on a RBS approved list is obliged to inform RBS of any variations to the purchase price. If you prohibit your property lawyer to disclose the reduction to RBS then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, RBS and you would have to appoint a new conveyancer for your conveyancing in Burgess Hill.

Finally the sale completed on my house in Burgess Hill last October yet the purchaser is e-mailing me to say her conveyancer needs to hear from mine. What should have happened now that I have sold?

Post completion of your house sale your lawyer should deliver the transfer documentation and all additional paperwork to the buyer’s lawyers. Where appropriate, your lawyer should also confirm that the mortgage has been paid off to the buyers solicitors. There are no post completion steps specific conveyancing in Burgess Hill.

I have been told that property searches are the primary reason for obstruction in Burgess Hill house deals. Is this right?

Searches are not likely to be the root cause of delay in conveyancing in Burgess Hill.

My wife and I purchased a renovated Edwardian property in Burgess Hill. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and Leeds Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw two entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same property. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??

You need to review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Burgess Hill and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also check the situation with your conveyancing lawyer who carried out the work.

Due to the guidance of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Burgess Hill ahead of appointing solicitors. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold element to the house. My surveyor has said that some lenders may refuse to issue a mortgage on this type of home.

It depends who your proposed lender is. Lloyds has different requirements from Nationwide. If you contact us we can check with the relevant lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Burgess Hill. Conveyancing will be smoother if you use a solicitor in Burgess Hill especially if they are accustomed to such properties in Burgess Hill.

I need to retain a conveyancing solicitor for sale conveyancing in Burgess Hill. I have stumble across a site which looks to be the perfect answer If it is possible to get all formalities completed via phone that would be preferable. Do I need to be wary? What are the potential pitfalls?

As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
