Me and my partner are soon to complete on the purchase of a house in Filton but as a consequence of wreckage from a small fire at the property I have was able negotiate recompense from the owner of £2k taking the form of a deduction in the price. I had intended this to be addressed as part of the conveyancing process however Principality will not permit this. Should they have been notified?
The property lawyer being on a Principality approved list is required to advise Principality of any amendments to the sale price. If you prohibit your property lawyer to report the reduction to Principality then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Principality and you would have to appoint a new solicitor for your conveyancing in Filton.
We hope to to purchase with Earl Shilton BS. I went into 3 or 4 local firms but am struggling to find a Filton conveyancing firm on the Earl Shilton BS approved list. Can you help?

I'm buying a new build house in Filton with the aid of help to buy. The sellers would not move on the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative advised me not disclose to my solicitor about the extras as it could jeopardize my loan with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Filton is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Filton are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Filton you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Filton may ascertain 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 residence.
