My wife and I are soon to complete on the purchase of a property in Marston Moretaine but as a consequence of wreckage from the recent storms I have managed to agree reparation from the current proprietors in the sum of £3k taking the form of a deduction in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process yet Lloyds will not permit this. Should they have been informed?

Any lawyer that is on a Lloyds conveyancing panel is obliged to disclose to Lloyds of any amendments to the purchase price. If you were to refuse your property lawyer to notify the reduction to Lloyds then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Lloyds and you would have to appoint a new solicitor for your conveyancing in Marston Moretaine.

I am aiming to move property in May. Does my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you suggest a removal company in Marston Moretaine. Conveyancing firm was organised prior to coming across your page.

Subsequently you should inform the removal company that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a particular removal organisation but can help you find a residential property solicitor in Marston Moretaine or a firm that specialises in conveyancing in Marston Moretaine.

The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for solicitors specialising in conveyancing in Marston Moretaine.

The conventional set of information sent to a buyer’s lawyer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) incorporates a standard inquiry of the vendor to find out whether the property has suffered from flooding. If flooding has previously occurred and is not disclosed by the seller, then a buyer may bring a legal claim for losses resulting from an inaccurate answer. A buyer’s solicitors should also order an enviro search. This should higlight whether there is any known flood risk. If so, further investigations should be made.

It has been 3 months since my purchase conveyancing in Marston Moretaine took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £215,000. 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 property 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 decided to have a survey carried out on a house in Marston Moretaine prior to appointing conveyancers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. Our surveyor has said that some lenders may not issue a mortgage on a flying freehold premises.
