I am about to exchange buying a property in Mottingham but as a consequence of damage from the recent storms I have was able negotiate compensation from the vendor of £3k taking the form of a deduction in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of a side agreement yet Co-operative will not permit this. Should they have been notified?
The lawyer that is on the Co-operative approved list is obliged to advise Co-operative of any changes to the sale price. If you prohibit your lawyer to report the price change to Co-operative then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Co-operative and you would have to appoint a new conveyancer for your conveyancing in Mottingham.
My wife and I purchased a 4 bedroom Georgian property in Mottingham. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and Accord Mortgages Ltd. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are a couple of entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold under the matching address. Is it worth asking Accord Mortgages Ltd to clarify?
You need to read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Mottingham and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also enquire as to the situation with the conveyancing solicitor who carried out the work.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Mottingham is where the house is located. Can you offer any advice?
Flying freeholds in Mottingham are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Mottingham you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Mottingham may ascertain 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 premises.
Taking into account that I am about to spend 450k on a property in Mottingham I wish to talk to a solicitor regarding thetransaction ahead of appointing the firm. Can this be arranged?

I have given up seeking a lease extension in Mottingham. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal adjudicate on premiums?
Where there is a absentee freeholder or if there is dispute about the premium for a lease extension, under the relevant legislation you can apply to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal to assess the sum to be paid.
An example of a Lease Extension case for a Mottingham premises is 49 Woodstock Court Burnt Ash Hill in May 2012. the payment of £64,116 by the leaseholder was the premium which the Tribunal found due for the lease extension in this case. This case related to 1 flat. The remaining number of years on the lease was 23.26 years.
