We are due to exchange buying a property in Felinheli but as a result of wreckage from the recent storms I have was able negotiate compensation from the vendor of six thousand pounds in the form of a adjustment in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process but Co-operative will not permit this. Should they have been involved?
The lawyer being on a Co-operative approved list is required to advise Co-operative of any amendments to the sale price. If you were to refuse your conveyancing practitioner to notify the price change to Co-operative then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Co-operative and you would have to appoint a new property lawyer for your conveyancing in Felinheli.

My lawyer has informed me that restrictive coveneant insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Felinheli conveyancing?
The appropriate level of restrictive coveneant indemnity insurance depends on your lender. It would differ for example between Birmingham Midshires and Chelsea Building Society. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to borrowers take out such policies.
I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in November 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, RBS are being problematic. The Felinheli solicitor who is on the RBS conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but RBS are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do RBS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that RBS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why RBS may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

I am intending to sublet my leasehold flat in Felinheli. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask him. Is permission from the freeholder required?
Even though your last Felinheli conveyancing lawyer is no longer available you can check your lease to see if you are permitted to let out the apartment. The accepted inference is that if the lease is silent, subletting is allowed. Quite often there is a prerequisite that you need to obtain permission from your landlord or some other party in advance of subletting. This means you not allowed to sublet without first obtaining permission. Such consent must not not be unreasonably withheld. If the lease does not allow you to sublet you should ask your landlord if they are willing to waive this restriction.
