Me and my partner are due to complete buying a house in North Acton but as a result of wreckage from some water damage at the property I have was able negotiate reparation from the owner of six thousand pounds by way of a adjustment in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of a side agreement however Lloyds will not permit this. Why were they notified?
The conveyancing practitioner being on a Lloyds approved list is duty bound to disclose to Lloyds of any changes to the sale price. If you were to refuse your conveyancer 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 conveyancing practitioner for your conveyancing in North Acton.

Can you provide any advice for leasehold conveyancing in North Acton with the aim of saving time on the sale process?
- A significant proportion of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in North Acton can be bypassed if you instruct lawyers the minute you market your property and request that they start to put together the leasehold documentation which will be required by the purchasers’ conveyancers. If you have the benefit of shareholding in the freehold, you should ensure that you are holding the original share certificate. Arranging a new share certificate is often a lengthy formality and delays many a North Acton home move. Where a duplicate share certificate is needed, you should approach the company director and secretary or managing agents (if relevant) for this at the earliest opportunity. The majority of landlords or managing agents in North Acton charge for supplying management packs for a leasehold property. You or your lawyers should discover the actual amount of the charges. The management pack can be applied for on or before finding a buyer, thus accelerating the process. The average time it takes to receive management information is three weeks. It is the most frequent reason for frustration in leasehold conveyancing in North Acton. A minority of North Acton leases require Licence to Assign from the landlord. If this applies to your lease, it would be prudent to notify your estate agents to make sure that the purchasers obtain bank and professional references. Any bank reference should make it clear that the buyer is able to meet the yearly service charge and the actual amount of the service charge should be quoted in the bank’s letter. You will therefore need to provide your estate agents with the actual amount of the service charge so that they can pass this information on to the purchasers or their lawyers. In the event that you altered the property did you need the Landlord’s permission? In particular have you installed wooden flooring? North Acton leases often stipulate that internal structural changes or addition of wooden flooring calls for a licence from the Landlord approving such changes. Should you fail to have the paperwork in place do not communicate with the landlord without checking with your conveyancer in advance.
