Me and my partner are due to complete on the purchase of a property in Marazion but as a result of damage from the recent storms I have managed to agree recompense from the vendor of £3k taking the form of a reduction in the price. I had intended this to be addressed as part of a side agreement but TSB will not permit this. Should they have been notified?
The lawyer that is on a TSB conveyancing panel is obliged to advise TSB of any variations to the purchase price. If you prohibit your solicitor to disclose the price change to TSB then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, TSB and you would have to appoint a new conveyancing practitioner for your conveyancing in Marazion.

I'm the sole recipient of my late father’s estate and I have everything in my name now, including the my former home in Marazion. The Marazion property was put into my name in April. I want to move. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', meaning my property ownership will be considered the same way as if I'd bought the property in April. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The CML handbook instructs 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 could be affected by that. many mortgage companies would take a pragmatic view as this clause is primarily there to identify subsales or the flipping of properties.
The mortgage over my property is with Skipton for my property in Marazion. Conveyancing has been completed months ago. Should I wish to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Skipton?
Skipton must be informed of your intention prior to letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Skipton’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Skipton directly. You need not do this via a Skipton conveyancing panel firm.
Skipton have agreed my mortgage in principle, my bid on a apartment in Marazion has been accepted, what are the next steps?
The property agent will wish to know who your solicitors are (make sure the conveyancing practitioners are on the lender’s panel). Call up Skipton or the broker and finalise any relevant paperwork. Skipton will appoint a valuer who will get in touch with the estate agent or seller to schedule a slot for the valuation to take place. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes on average a week for the mortgage offer to be issued. Skipton will issue the offer to you and your conveyancing practitioners. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Marazion.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on last month in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Marazion is the location of the property. Can you offer any guidance?
Flying freeholds in Marazion are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Marazion you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Marazion may decide 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 residence.
We are a couple of weeks into a residential purchase having been directed to solicitors by the estate agent to handle our conveyancing in Marazion. I am am very dissatisfied with the quality of service. Could you you assist me in finding new conveyancers?
A solicitor would have to be really poor in order to consider changing them. Has the mortgage been issued? If so you will need to inform them of the new contact details and have the mortgage documents are re-issued. Your conveyancer should be on the mortgage company approved list to avoid supplemental charges and delays. So that should be your starting point.
