I am soon to complete on the purchase of a house in Horwich but as a consequence of wreckage from some water damage at the property I have managed to agree compensation from the current proprietors of £3k by way of a deduction in the price.

Planning on purchasing a maisonette in Horwich. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Skipton conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Horwich conveyancing practitioner is on the Skipton conveyancing panel.
I have finally had an offer on a flat in Horwich accepted, the sellers do however have a dependent purchase. The owners have offered on a flat, but it’s not been accepted yet, and are looking at other flats booked. I have chosen a local conveyancing solicitor in Horwich. What should be my next step?

The first thing to do is check that your lawyer is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. Concerning the subsequent phase this very much depends on the uniqueness of your transaction, attraction to this property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market some purchasers will apply for a home loan with Nottingham and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they ask their conveyancer to move forward with searches.
It has been three months following my purchase conveyancing in Horwich concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the asset from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Horwich is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Horwich are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses.

Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy.

You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
