I am soon to exchange on the purchase of a house in Oxshott but as a result of damage from the recent storms I have managed to agree recompense from the vendor of £2k in the form of a adjustment in the price. I had intended this to be addressed as part of the conveyancing process but RBS will not agree to this. Should they have been approached?
The property lawyer that is on the RBS conveyancing panel is duty bound to inform RBS of any variations to the sale price. If you prohibit your solicitor to notify the price change to RBS then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, RBS and you would have to appoint a new conveyancer for your conveyancing in Oxshott.
I have been told that property searches are a common cause of hinderance in Oxshott conveyancing transactions. Is that correct?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) has noted the determinations of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure within the most frequent causes of delays during the legal transfer of property. Local searches are unlikely to be the root cause of holding up conveyancing in Oxshott.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my property are lost. The conveyancers who did the conveyancing in Oxshott 10 years ago have long since closed. Will I be able to sell the house?
These day there are duplicates made of almost everything, and your conveyancer will be aware precisely where to locate all the suitable documentation so you can buy or sell your property without a hitch. If copies are not available, your conveyancer may be able to arrange cover in the form of insurance or indemnities against future claims on the property.

Deeds, as such, no longer exist as most properties in Oxshott are registered digitally at Land Registry. Should you need to establish ownership or are selling or re-mortgaging your solicitor will need to obtain up to date copies of the register from the Land Registry in any case.
