My wife and I are about to complete on the purchase of a house in Finsbury but as a result of damage from a small fire at the property I have managed to agree recompense from the owner of £2k by way of a reduction in the price. This was going to be addressed as part of the conveyancing process however Co-operative are not allowing this. Why were they informed?
Your conveyancer that is on a Co-operative approved list is obliged to inform Co-operative of any amendments to the purchase price. If you prohibit your conveyancer to report 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 solicitor for your conveyancing in Finsbury.
When will exchange of contracts happen for sale conveyancing in Finsbury and am I required to be at the solicitors branch?
Where you are in close proximity to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Finsbury you are invited in to sign the paperwork. That being said, the firms we recommend offer a national conveyancing service and give just as diligent and professional a job for you when communicating with you electronically. The executing of the sale agreement is not when everything is set in stone. A signed contract is just a prerequisite for the firm to exchange contracts at the appropriate 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 long "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Finsbury)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Finsbury is where the house is located. Can you offer any assistance?
Flying freeholds in Finsbury are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Finsbury you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Finsbury 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.
