Me and my partner are soon to exchange on the purchase of a property in Marple Bridge but as a result of damage from the recent storms I have managed to agree compensation from the current proprietors of £3k in the form of a adjustment in the price. This was going to be addressed as part of a side agreement yet HSBC are not allowing this. Why were they involved?
The conveyancing practitioner being on the HSBC conveyancing panel is required to disclose to HSBC of any changes to the sale price. If you were to refuse your property lawyer to notify the reduction to HSBC then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, HSBC and you would have to appoint a new conveyancing practitioner for your conveyancing in Marple Bridge.

There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Marple Bridge registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can adjust subject to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any interested parties. At present in the region of 80% of such applications are fully addressed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to protracted hold-ups. Registration is effected once the new owner has moved in to the property thus 'speed' is not usually an essential issue but where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers should contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
