Me and my partner are soon to exchange on the purchase of a property in Merseyside but as a result of wreckage from some water damage at the property I have was able negotiate recompense from the vendor of £3k by way of a adjustment in the price. I had intended this to be addressed as part of amending the contract however Skipton are not allowing this. Should they have been approached?
Any conveyancer being on a Skipton approved list is duty bound to disclose to Skipton of any variations to the sale price. If you prohibit your property lawyer to disclose the price change to Skipton then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Skipton and you would have to appoint a new conveyancing practitioner for your conveyancing in Merseyside.
We note that you have a search directory identifying firms on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. Do companies pay you a referral fee if I retain them for our conveyancing in Merseyside?

We are selling our home in Merseyside. Will the conveyancer have to be on the TSB conveyancing panel in order to deal with repayment of my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the TSB conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their requirements fairly frequently at the moment.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Merseyside is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Merseyside are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Merseyside you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Merseyside may determine 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.
