I am about to complete buying a house in Shenley Brook End but as a consequence of wreckage from the recent storms I have managed to agree recompense from the owner in the sum of £3k taking the form of a reduction in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of amending the contract however Lloyds are not allowing this. Should they have been notified?
Your solicitor being on the Lloyds conveyancing panel is required to inform Lloyds of any amendments to the sale price. If you prohibit your solicitor to report the reduction to Lloyds then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Lloyds and you would have to appoint a new conveyancing practitioner for your conveyancing in Shenley Brook End.
We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The lender mentioned the loan came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to appoint their panel lawyer as I would prefer to instruct a Shenley Brook End based conveyancing firm?
You should check but the the likelihood is that appoint one of their panel lawyers if you want the "fee-free" offer. Contact the lender and check if they allow a monetary alternative. It is not unheard for a lender to give a £250 cashback as a further option in which case that money can go towards the cost for your conveyancing solicitor in Shenley Brook End.
Me and my brother own a terraced Victorian property in Shenley Brook End. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and Halifax. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw a couple of entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold under the exact same property. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You should read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Shenley Brook End and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also check the situation with your conveyancing solicitor who carried out the work.

I am employed by a busy estate agent office in Shenley Brook End where we have witnessed a few leasehold sales put at risk as a result of leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have received contradictory information from local Shenley Brook End conveyancing solicitors. Could you shed some light as to whether the vendor of a flat can commence the lease extension process for the purchaser on completion of the sale?
Provided that the seller has been the owner for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to commence the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the buyer need not have to wait 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done prior to, or simultaneously with completion of the disposal of the property.
An alternative approach is to agree the lease extension with the freeholder either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the purchaser.
