I am soon to complete buying a property in Epworth but as a result of damage from the recent storms I have was able negotiate compensation from the seller in the sum of £3k taking the form of a deduction in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process yet Virgin Money are not allowing this. Why were they informed?
Any conveyancing practitioner being on the Virgin Money approved list is required to inform Virgin Money of any changes to the purchase price. If you were to refuse your conveyancing practitioner to notify the reduction to Virgin Money then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Virgin Money and you would have to appoint a new property lawyer for your conveyancing in Epworth.

Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unexperienced as FTB of a ground floor flat in Epworth. Do I receive the keys to the house on the completion date from my solicitor? If this is the case, I will instruct a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Epworth?
On the day of completion you will not be required to attend the conveyancers office in Epworth. Conveyancing lawyers for you will arrange to send the purchase money to the vendor’s lawyers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be called to collect the keys from the Estate Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen early afternoon.
is it true that all Epworth solicitor firms on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel are overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?
As solicitors, in order to be on the Coventry BS approved list of solicitors they would need to be regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. Many lenders do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel and in that case the organisation would be overseen by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
My offer was accepted on a property in Epworth on 13/8/2026, valuation was booked five days after, all came back fine. Solicitor instructed, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Leeds Building Society and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. Can the lender hold off the offer?
A lender would not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Leeds Building Society to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
