I am due to complete buying a house in Neston but as a consequence of wreckage from a small fire at the property I have was able negotiate reparation from the seller of £3k by way of a adjustment in the price. This was going to be addressed as part of amending the contract but Nationwide will not agree to this. Why were they approached?
Your solicitor that is on a Nationwide approved list is obliged to inform Nationwide of any changes to the sale price. If you prohibit your property lawyer to notify the price change to Nationwide then they would have to discontinue acting for you.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Neston is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Neston are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses.

Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Neston 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 property.

It is possible that there is a management company (wholly owned by residents) that proprietors pay into to maintain the road. If one exists, the road should be maintained and look nicer than council adopted.
