I am due to exchange buying a house in Helsby but as a result of wreckage from some water damage at the property I have was able negotiate compensation from the current proprietors in the sum of three thousand pounds taking the form of a adjustment in the price. This was going to be addressed as part of amending the contract however TSB will not permit this. Should they have been approached?
Your conveyancer being on a TSB conveyancing panel is required to disclose to TSB of any amendments to the sale price. If you prohibit your solicitor to notify the reduction to TSB then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, TSB and you would have to appoint a new lawyer for your conveyancing in Helsby.

I am the only beneficiary of my late grandmother’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Helsby. The Helsby property was put into my name in May. I want to move. I do know about the CML 6 month 'rule', which means that my property ownership will be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the property in May. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?
The CML handbook obliges solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you might be affected by that. many banks would take a sensible view as this clause is principally there to identify subsales or the flipping of property.

I have finally had an offer on an apartment in Helsby accepted, but there is a chain. The vendors have placed an offer on a flat, however it’s not been accepted yet, and are looking at other apartments in the pipeline. I have instructed a high street conveyancing solicitor in Helsby. What should be my next step? When should I get the mortgage application with Coventry BS started?
It is normal to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (mortgage application is approx one thousand pounds, then valuation, Helsby conveyancing search charges, etc). The first thing to do is ensure that your conveyancer is on the Coventry BS approved list. As to the subsequent phase this very much dictated by the circumstances of your case, motivation for the property and on the state of the market. During a hot market the majority of purchasers would apply for the mortgage with Coventry BS and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their conveyancing practitioner to move forward with the conveyancing in Helsby.

I today plan to offer on a house that seems to tick a lot of boxes, at a great figure which is making it more attractive. I have since found out that the title is leasehold rather than freehold.

In this scenario it’s worth having a local solicitor used to dealing with such properties who can assist with the conveyancing process. it is apparent that you are buying in Helsby in which case you should be looking for a Helsby conveyancing solicitor and check that they have experience in advising on leasehold houses. First you will need to check the number of years remaining. Being a lessee you will not be at liberty to do whatever you want to the property.

You may also be required to pay a contribution towards the upkeep of the estate where the property is located on an estate. Your conveyancer should report to you on the legal implications.
