We are due to exchange on the purchase of a house in Fulwood and Elston but as a consequence of wreckage from the recent storms I have was able negotiate recompense from the vendor in the sum of £3k by way of a deduction in the price. This was going to be addressed as part of the conveyancing process but Nottingham are not allowing this. Why were they involved?
Any solicitor being on a Nottingham approved list is required to inform Nottingham of any amendments to the purchase price. If you were to refuse your solicitor to disclose the price change to Nottingham then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Nottingham and you would have to appoint a new solicitor for your conveyancing in Fulwood and Elston.

We had chosen solicitors locally in Fulwood and Elston on the Bank of Ireland solicitor approved list. They have just invoiced me a separate charge for dealing with the Bank of Ireland mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Bank of Ireland?
Provided it is contained in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your property lawyer may charge a fee for this. This charge is not dictated by Bank of Ireland but by your Fulwood and Elston conveyancer. Numerous firms on the Bank of Ireland panel will levy ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but plenty of firms incorporate it on their overall fee.

How does conveyancing in Fulwood and Elston differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Fulwood and Elston come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is completed. This is because new home sellers in Fulwood and Elston typically acquire the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Fulwood and Elston or who has acted in the same development.

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 premises.
