We are due to exchange buying a property in Romiley but as a consequence of wreckage from the recent storms I have managed to agree reparation from the vendor of three thousand pounds taking the form of a deduction in the price. I had intended this to be addressed as part of a side agreement yet Barclays are not allowing this. Should they have been involved?
Your conveyancer being on the Barclays approved list is obliged to inform Barclays of any amendments to the purchase price. If you were to refuse your conveyancer to notify the reduction to Barclays then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Barclays and you would have to appoint a new property lawyer for your conveyancing in Romiley.
I own a freehold house in Romiley but still invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Romiley and has limited impact for conveyancing in Romiley but some freehold properties in England (particularly common in North West England) pay an annual sum known as a Chief Rent or a Rentcharge to a third party who has no other legal interest in the land.
Rentcharge payments are usually between £2.00 and £5.00 per year. Rentcharges date back hundreds of years, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the creation of fresh rentcharges from 1977 onwards.
Old rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a lump sum payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence post 2037 will be extinguished.
How do I discover of the solicitor handling my conveyancing in Romiley is on the lender’sconveyancing panel? I am looking to avoid the situation of having one lawyer for me and one for Yorkshire Building Society thus paying £175.00 in further conveyancing bill.

About to purchase a new build apartment in Romiley. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build conveyancing.
Here is a sample of a selection of leasehold new build enquiries that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Romiley
-
Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme.
I am looking for a flat up to £245,000 and found one round the corner in Romiley I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Romiley for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
If you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be an issue. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you may ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
