Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Hassocks

We are about to exchange on the purchase of a house in Hassocks but as a consequence of damage from the recent storms I have was able negotiate compensation from the current proprietors in the sum of £2k by way of a reduction in the price. I had intended this to be addressed as part of the conveyancing process yet Principality will not permit this. Should they have been informed?

Your conveyancing practitioner being on a Principality approved list is required to disclose to Principality of any changes to the purchase price. If you were to refuse your property lawyer to notify the reduction to Principality then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Principality and you would have to appoint a new lawyer for your conveyancing in Hassocks.

I am buying a property in Hassocks. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Principality be concerned?

Given that your lender is Principality your lawyer must comply with the formal requirements contained in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Principality. The CML Handbook contains minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and solicitors are required to report to Principality where a lease fails to comply with these provisions. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not restricted to Hassocks.

Your estate agent will need to be informed of your conveyancer's details (ensure that the property lawyers are on the lender’s approved list). Contact Co-operative or the broker and finish off any appropriate paperwork. Co-operative will instruct a valuer who will get in touch with the estate agent or seller to book an appointment. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes about a week for the mortgage offer to be issued. Co-operative will send the offer to you and your conveyancers. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Hassocks.

Local searches are not likely to be the root cause of holding up conveyancing in Hassocks.

The deeds to our property are lost. The conveyancers who did the conveyancing in Hassocks 4 years ago are no longer around. What are my options?

Due to the encouragement of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Hassocks before instructing lawyers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. The surveyor advised that some mortgage companies tend not give a mortgage on this type of home.

In the event that it has you will need to make them aware of the new conveyancer and get the mortgage documents are re-sent. The conveyancer should be on the banks approved list to avoid escalating charges and frustration. So that should be your starting point.
