Me and my partner are about to complete buying a property in Kenton but as a result of damage from the recent storms I have managed to agree compensation from the current proprietors in the sum of £3k by way of a reduction in the price. I had intended this to be addressed as part of the conveyancing process yet RBS will not permit this. Why were they notified?
The conveyancing practitioner being on the RBS conveyancing panel is obliged to disclose to RBS of any amendments to the purchase price. If you prohibit your lawyer to disclose the reduction to RBS then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, RBS and you would have to appoint a new lawyer for your conveyancing in Kenton.

Various web forums that I have frequented warn that are the number one cause of delay in Kenton house deals. Is that correct?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) published determinations of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure amongst the top 10 causes of delays during the legal transfer of property. Local searches are unlikely to feature in any holding up conveyancing in Kenton.
How does conveyancing in Kenton differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Kenton contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because new home sellers in Kenton typically buy the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Kenton or who has acted in the same development.
I'm converting the mortgage on my current house to a BTL loan with Britannia and intend to use the remaining equity towards a second property. The location we are talking about is Kenton. Will your conveyancers be able to act for the two mortgage companies and tie in the transactions?
Do use our comparison tool on this page to check that the conveyancers are on the relevant lender panels. Assuming that they are the lawyer should be able to simultaneously deal with the two conveyancing matters but you should talk with you conveyancer and make apparent your expectations and requirements.
If all goes to plan we aim to complete the disposal of our £400,000 apartment in Kenton next week. The managing agents has quoted £372 for Certificate of Compliance, building insurance schedule and 3 years service charge statements. Is the landlord entitled to charge exorbitant fees for a flat conveyance in Kenton?
Kenton conveyancing on leasehold apartments more often than not involves the buyer’s lawyer sending questions for the landlord to answer. Although the landlord is not legally bound to address such questions the majority will be content to assist. They may invoice a reasonable charge for responding to enquiries or supplying documentation. There is no upper cap for such fees. The average fee for the information that you are referring to is over three hundred pounds, in some transactions it is above £800. The management information fee levied by the landlord must be accompanied by a synopsis of rights and obligations in relation to administration fees, without which the invoice is not strictly payable. Reality however dictates that you have no option but to pay whatever is demanded if you want to complete the sale of your home.
Despite our best endeavours, we have been unsuccessful in trying to purchase the freehold in Kenton. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal adjudicate on premiums?
