Our aim is to provide value for money conveyancing but our intention is not to work with the cheapest lawyers. Avoid the trap of appointing companies offering low cost conveyancing in Burnham.

My solicitor has uncovered a a legal deficiency with the lease for the apartment we are buying in Burnham. The other side have suggested defective title insurance as a solution.

Who is the client here, us or the bank?
Even though you have a mortgage offer from the lender does not mean to say that the property will meet their requirements for the purposes of a mortgage.

My husband and I are new to the buying process - agreed a price, but the estate agent informed us that the vendor will only move forward if we appoint the agent's preferred lawyers as they need an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a high street conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Burnham
We suspect that the seller is not behind this requirement. Should the vendor desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated purchaser is not the way to achieve this. Try to communicate with the vendors directly and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with finances arranged © you are unencumbered (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you intend to appoint your own,trusted Burnham conveyancing firm - as opposed tothe ones that will provide the estate agent a introducer fee or achieve conveyancing figures set by head office.
My partner and I about to exchange on the purchase a house in Burnham but as a consequence of damage from the recent storms I have agreed reparation from the current proprietors of five thousand pounds in the form of a deduction in the price. I had intended this to be addressed as part of the conveyancing process yet my bank will not agree to this. Should they have been notified?
The solicitor that is on a bank approved list is duty bound to advise the bank of any amendments to the purchase amount. In the event that you did not allow your property lawyer to notify the price change to your bank then they would need to disinstructing themselves from representing you and the lender.
