We are about to complete on the purchase of a property in Nuneaton but as a consequence of damage from a small fire at the property I have was able negotiate recompense from the current proprietors in the sum of £2k by way of a reduction in the price. I had intended this to be addressed as part of a side agreement however Clydesdale are not allowing this. Why were they informed?
Any conveyancing practitioner that is on the Clydesdale approved list is required to disclose to Clydesdale of any changes to the purchase price. If you prohibit your lawyer to notify the price change to Clydesdale then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Clydesdale and you would have to appoint a new property lawyer for your conveyancing in Nuneaton.

My wife and I are at the point of looking at flats in Nuneaton and I am about to put in an offer. Should I already have a property lawyer in place at this stage? I am planning to take a home loan with RBS.
It would be wise to start your search sooner rather than later. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their contact information on to the estate agent. As you are obtaining a mortgage with RBS, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the RBS conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
I had an offer accepted on an apartment in Nuneaton on 4/8/2025, valuation was booked five days later, received a clean bill of health. Property lawyer appointed, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Yorkshire BS and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. Can the lender hold off the offer?
A lender would not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Yorkshire BS to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
TSB have agreed my home loan in principle, my bid on a house in Nuneaton has been accepted, now what?
The property agent will wish to know who your solicitors are (make sure the solicitors are on the lender’s panel). Call up TSB or the broker and finish off any appropriate documentation. TSB will appoint a valuer who will get in touch with the selling agent or owners to book a slot for the valuation to occur. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes about ten days for the mortgage offer to be issued. TSB will issue the offer to you and your property lawyers. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Nuneaton.
I have todaybecome aware that Arc property Solicitors have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Nuneaton for a purchase of a freehold house 10 months ago. How can I check that my home is not still registered in the name of the former proprietor?
The quickest method to check if the property is registered to you, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Nuneaton conveyancing specialists.
Taking into account that I will soon spend hundreds of thousands of pounds on a terraced house in Nuneaton I wish to have a conversation with the lawyer concerning thetransaction ahead of instructing the firm. Can this be arranged?
Absolutely - it is our preference to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you first talking to the conveyancer who will be carrying out your conveyancing in Nuneaton.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - every client is unique person, not a case reference. The law firms that we put you in touch with believe that the figure you are calculated and presented to you for your conveyancing in Nuneaton should be the figure that you end up paying.
Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my garden apartment in Nuneaton. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, however I have recently had a yearly maintenance charge demand – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should pay the maintenance contribution as you normally would because all rents and service payments will be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
I invested in buying a 1 bedroom flat in Nuneaton, conveyancing formalities finalised half a dozen years ago. Can you let me have an estimate of the premium that my landlord can legally expect in return for granting a renewal of my lease? Comparable flats in Nuneaton with a long lease are worth £216,000. The ground rent is £50 invoiced every year. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2094
With only 69 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £9,500 and £11,000 plus costs.
The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure in the absence of detailed due diligence. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be other concerns that need to be taken into account and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward based on this information before getting professional advice.
