We are soon to exchange on the purchase of a house in Heaton but as a consequence of wreckage from some water damage at the property I have managed to agree compensation from the owner in the sum of three thousand pounds by way of a deduction in the price. I had intended this to be addressed as part of a side agreement yet Kent Reliance will not agree to this. Should they have been informed?
Any solicitor being on a Kent Reliance conveyancing panel is obliged to advise Kent Reliance of any variations to the sale price. If you prohibit your lawyer to disclose the price change to Kent Reliance then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Kent Reliance and you would have to appoint a new conveyancing practitioner for your conveyancing in Heaton.
we are a couple who wish to acquire a 1 bedroom flat in Heaton with a homeloan from National Westminster Bank.We use our Heaton conveyancing lawyer but National Westminster Bank informed us her practice is not on their approved list of firms. It seems we are left with little choice but to instruct a National Westminster Bank panel solicitor or keep our high street solicitor and fork out for one of their panel ones to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that National Westminster Bank use our lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The home loan issued to you contains terms and conditions, a common one being that solicitors will be on the National Westminster Bank approved list. in the past, most banks had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for National Westminster Bank
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unseasoned as a 1st time purchaser of a two bedroom flat in Heaton. Do I pick up the keys to the premises on completion from my solicitor? If so, I will find a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Heaton?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will transfer the purchase money to the seller's solicitors, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be able to collect the keys from the selling Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen early afternoon.
I have been told by my conveyancer that flying freehold insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Heaton conveyancing?

I had a mortgage agreed in principle with Principality. Heaton conveyancing practitioners are selected. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Principality?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Principality done the survey? Have you advised Principality as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Principality conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
