We are due to exchange buying a property in Conisborough but as a result of wreckage from the recent storms I have managed to agree reparation from the owner in the sum of £2k taking the form of a deduction in the price. This was going to be addressed as part of amending the contract but Skipton will not agree to this. Should they have been approached?
Any property lawyer being on the Skipton approved list is required to disclose to Skipton of any changes to the purchase price. If you were to refuse your conveyancer to report the reduction to Skipton then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Skipton and you would have to appoint a new solicitor for your conveyancing in Conisborough.
A colleague suggested that if I am purchasing in Conisborough I should carry out a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. Can you explain what the purpose of this search is?

Have purchased a a semi-detached house in Conisborough , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to register my proprietorship? My Conisborough conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to check the registration is concluded.
As far as conveyancing in Conisborough registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can adjust subject to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry have to notify any 3rd persons or bodies. Currently in the region of 80% of submission are completed within 12 days but occasionally there can be extensive delays. Registration occurs after the buyer is living at the premises therefore 'speed' is not always an essential issue yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
How does conveyancing in Conisborough differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Conisborough approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is finished. This is because house builders in Conisborough typically purchase the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Conisborough or who has acted in the same development.

Having used your search tool I can't find the lawyer I was hoping to instruct as being on the mortgage company conveyancing panel. My lawyer has said that they are on the bank approved panel. How can I be sure given that they are not listed on your directory?
