Me and my partner are due to complete buying a property in Glastonbury but as a result of damage from the recent storms I have was able negotiate reparation from the seller of £3k by way of a adjustment in the price. I had intended this to be addressed as part of amending the contract but Skipton are not allowing this. Should they have been approached?
The solicitor that is on a Skipton approved list is obliged to disclose to Skipton of any variations to the sale price. If you were to refuse your conveyancer to report the price change to Skipton then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Skipton and you would have to appoint a new lawyer for your conveyancing in Glastonbury.
Do lenders provide you with an approved list of Glastonbury conveyancing solicitors? How do you know who is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel?
Glastonbury conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Yorkshire BS directly.
My wife and I have recently appointed a conveyancing solicitor in Glastonbury. I need to find out whether they are accepted on the Coventry Building Society conveyancing panel. Could you or the lender confirm if they are on the panel?
You should e-mail your solicitor and enquire whether they are on the lender panel. Otherwise you should get in touch with Coventry Building Society who may be able to assist.
My wife and I are planning on selling our home in Glastonbury and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. Any local lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers are using a web based conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Glastonbury. We have lived in Glastonbury for three years we know of no issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to seek confirmation that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer already. Are they able to advise? You need to enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same illness)
