My wife and I are about to exchange on the purchase of a house in Kelvedon but as a result of wreckage from the recent storms I have was able negotiate recompense from the seller in the sum of six thousand pounds by way of a reduction in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of amending the contract however Nottingham are not allowing this. Why were they informed?
Any lawyer that is on a Nottingham approved list is obliged to inform Nottingham of any variations to the purchase price. If you prohibit your conveyancing practitioner to notify the price change to Nottingham then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Nottingham and you would have to appoint a new lawyer for your conveyancing in Kelvedon.
Is it the case that all Kelvedon solicitors on the Barclays conveyancing panel are overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Barclays conveyancing panel they would need to be overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. The majority of banks do allow licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such practice would be governed by the CLC.
We had chosen conveyancing lawyers with offices in Kelvedon on the Principality solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a further fee for the legal aspects of the Principality mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Principality?
Provided it is contained in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your property lawyer is entitled to charge a fee for this. The charge is not dictated by Principality but by your Kelvedon conveyancing practitioner. Plenty of firms on the Principality panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.
I am selling my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in March 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Co-operative are being a right pain. The Kelvedon solicitor who is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Co-operative are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Co-operative have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Co-operative have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Co-operative may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
I have recentlybeen informed that Arc property Solicitors have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Kelvedon for a purchase of a freehold house 10 months ago. How can I be sure that my home is not still registered in the name of the previous owner?
The easiest way to check if the premises is registered to you, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Kelvedon conveyancing specialists.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Kelvedon is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Kelvedon are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Kelvedon you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Kelvedon may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
