Me and my partner are soon to complete buying a property in Pentonville but as a result of wreckage from the recent storms I have managed to agree reparation from the current proprietors in the sum of three thousand pounds taking the form of a adjustment in the price. This was going to be addressed as part of amending the contract yet RBS are not allowing this. Should they have been notified?
Your property lawyer being on a RBS approved list is required to disclose to RBS of any changes to the sale price. If you prohibit your lawyer to disclose 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 conveyancing practitioner for your conveyancing in Pentonville.

A buyer’s solicitors should also carry out an environmental search. This should higlight if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, more detailed inquiries will need to be initiated.

Having checked my lease I have discovered that there are only 68 years left on my lease in Pentonville. I now want to get lease extension but my landlord is can not be found. What options are available to me?
If you qualify, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can submit an application to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will mean that your lease can be extended by the magistrate. You will be obliged to demonstrate that you or your lawyers have done all that could be expected to find the freeholder. For most situations a specialist should be helpful to carry out a search and prepare an expert document which can be accepted by the court as proof that the freeholder can not be located. It is wise to seek advice from a property lawyer both on devolving into the landlord’s absence and the vesting order request to the County Court covering Pentonville.

Me and my partner have recently had an offer accepted on a apartment and had an appointment on Wednesday with Nationwide for the mortgage. They have informed us that when it comes to choosing a conveyancing practitioner that if they are not on their approved list of conveyancing practitioners then we will be subject to an an additional charge of £250+. This is because they would then have to instruct a solicitor to act for them as well as the one we appoint for ourselves and we are liable for their fees. I have requested Nationwide to send me with a list so I can request quotes only from their approved lawyers but was told they dont have such a list to hand over. What would be the best way of going about this?
You can enquire of Nationwide what their criteria for panel membership is for a conveyancer.Thereafter ask the conveyancer of your choice whether they fit that criteria and have they acted on loans for Nationwide historically. If the answer to those is yes, then just clarify this with Nationwide. Alternatively please use our search facility and we should be able to find you a conveyancing practitioner in Pentonville on the approved list for Nationwide.
