My wife and I are due to exchange on the purchase of a property in Princes Risborough but as a consequence of damage from some water damage at the property I have was able negotiate compensation from the seller in the sum of three thousand pounds in the form of a reduction in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of amending the contract yet HSBC are not allowing this. Why were they informed?

Any conveyancer being on a HSBC approved list is duty bound to inform HSBC of any amendments to the purchase price.

We're FTB’s - agreed a price, but the agent has warned us that the vendor will only proceed if we instruct their preferred conveyancers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a family solicitor who is familiar with conveyancing in Princes Risborough

It is unlikely the owners are driving this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a motivated purchaser is counter productive. Try to communicate with the vendors directly and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you will continue to instruct your own,trusted Princes Risborough conveyancing solicitors - rather thanthe ones that will give their negotiator at the agency a kickback or hit his conveyancing targets demanded by senior management.

I have just appointed agents to market my basement flat in Princes Risborough. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, but I have just had a yearly maintenance charge invoice – what should I do?

Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should discharge the maintenance contribution as usual because all ground rent and maintenance charges will be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most management companies 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 acquired a ground floor flat in Princes Risborough, conveyancing was carried out in 2009. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension? Comparable properties in Princes Risborough with an extended lease are worth £206,000. The ground rent is £45 levied per year. The lease ends on 21st October 2093

With 67 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £10,500 and £12,000 as well as legals.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more detailed due diligence. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward based on this information without first getting professional advice.
