Me and my partner are due to complete buying a house in Cramlington but as a consequence of damage from some water damage at the property I have managed to agree compensation from the owner of three thousand pounds in the form of a reduction in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of a side agreement but UBS are not allowing this. Should they have been involved?
Any conveyancer being on a UBS conveyancing panel is required to advise UBS of any changes to the purchase price. If you were to refuse your lawyer to notify the reduction to UBS then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, UBS and you would have to appoint a new property lawyer for your conveyancing in Cramlington.
When will exchange of contracts take place for purchase conveyancing in Cramlington and am I required to be at the solicitors office?
Where you are in close proximity to our conveyancing solicitors in Cramlington you are welcome to attend to sign documents. That being said, the firms we work with offer countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide just as comprehensive and professional a job for you when dealing with you by post or email. The signing of the property agreement is not when everything is set in stone. A signed contract is necessary for the solicitor to address the formalities at the suitable time, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The exchange process is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a lengthy "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Cramlington)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in last month in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Cramlington is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Cramlington are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Cramlington you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Cramlington may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.

My wife and I purchased a leasehold flat in Cramlington. Conveyancing and Chelsea Building Society mortgage organised.

The conveyancing solicitor in Cramlington who previously acted has now retired. What should I do?
The first thing you should do is contact the Land Registry to make sure that the individual purporting to own the freehold is in fact the registered owner of the freehold reversion. You do not need to instruct a Cramlington conveyancing solicitor to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for £3. You should note that regardless, even if this is the rightful freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.

My husband and I hope to buy our 1st house in Cramlington. Conveyancing practitioner already appointed. The financial consultant suggested that a survey is not necessary as the house was only built twenty two years ago.
As the bare minimum you need a Home Buyer's Report. Given the property was constructed over a decade ago the property will be without a warranty, so you would be well advised not to take a risk. Where a property of this age shows no signs of problems a Home Buyer's report could be sufficient. The report should highlight any obvious issues and suggest further investigation where relevant. If there are any signs of problems seek a full Building Survey from the beginning.
