My wife and I are soon to complete on the purchase of a property in Danescourt but as a consequence of wreckage from some water damage at the property I have managed to agree reparation from the vendor in the sum of £2k by way of a adjustment in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of a side agreement but Leeds Building Society are not allowing this. Should they have been notified?
Your lawyer that is on a Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel is required to disclose to Leeds Building Society of any changes to the purchase price. If you prohibit your conveyancing practitioner to report the reduction to Leeds Building Society then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Leeds Building Society and you would have to appoint a new property lawyer for your conveyancing in Danescourt.
How up to date is your search tool for Danescourt conveyancing solicitors on the Aldermore conveyancing panel? Do Aldermore send you an updated list?

I am looking to buy a property and require a conveyancing solicitor in Danescourt who is on the The Mortgage Works solicitor. Can you recommend a local conveyancing firm?
Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for The Mortgage Works in certain locations such as Danescourt. We dont recommend any particular firm.
We are downsizing from our house in Danescourt and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Danescourt conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers used a national conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Danescourt. Having lived in Danescourt for many years we know that this is a non issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to obtain confirmation need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You need to enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same illness)
Should I instruct a Danescourt conveyancing solicitor who is local to the property I am purchasing? An old friend can perform the legal formalities however her office is approximately 350miles drive away.
The primary upside of using a high street Danescourt conveyancing firm is that you can attend the office to execute documents, present your identification documents and apply pressure on them where appropriate. Having local Danescourt know how is a bonus. However nothing is more important than finding someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If if people you trust instructed your friend and on the whole were happy that must trump using an unknown Danescourt conveyancing lawyer just because they are Danescourt based.
Can you offer any advice when it comes to finding a Danescourt conveyancing firm to deal with our lease extension?
When appointing a solicitor for lease extension works (regardless if they are a Danescourt conveyancing firm) it is imperative that he or she should be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of conveyancing. We advise that you talk with several firms including non Danescourt conveyancing practices before you instructing a firm. If the firm is ALEP accredited then that’s a bonus. The following questions might be of use:
-
How experienced is the practice with lease extension legislation? Can they put you in touch with clients in Danescourt who can give a testimonial?

It would be a good idea to investigate if there is anything that is prohibited in the lease. For example it is fairly common in Danescourt leases that pets are not allowed in in a block in Danescourt. If you like the propertyin Danescourt but your dog is not allowed to live with you then you have a very difficult determination. Its a good idea to find out as much as you can concerning the company managing the building as they can either make your living at the property much simpler or much more difficult. As the owner of a leasehold property you will be at the mercy of the managing agents from a financial perspective and when it comes to day to day issues such as the cleanliness of the communal areas. Ask prospective neighbours if they are happy with their management. In conclusion, be sure you discover the dates that the maintenance charges are due to the managing agents and specifically how they are spending the funds. The answer will be helpful as a) areas can cause problems for the building as the common areas may begin to deteriorate if services remain unpaid b) if the leasehold owners have a dispute with the running of the building you will want to have complete disclosure
