We are soon to exchange on the purchase of a house in Shoeburyness but as a consequence of damage from a small fire at the property I have managed to agree recompense from the seller of three thousand pounds taking the form of a adjustment in the price. This was going to be addressed as part of the conveyancing process but UBS will not agree to this. Should they have been informed?
Any lawyer being on the UBS approved list is obliged to advise UBS of any amendments to the purchase price. If you were to refuse your solicitor to report the price change to UBS then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, UBS and you would have to appoint a new property lawyer for your conveyancing in Shoeburyness.
I have been told that property searches are the number one reason for obstruction in Shoeburyness house deals. Is this right?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released findings of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure amongst the common causes of hindrances during the legal transfer of property. Searches are unlikely to be the root cause of slowing down conveyancing in Shoeburyness.
Just had an offer accepted on a new build apartment in Shoeburyness. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build legal work.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Shoeburyness is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Shoeburyness are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Shoeburyness you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Shoeburyness may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
My husband and I are a couple of weeks into a residential purchase having been referred to a firm by the selling agent to do our conveyancing in Shoeburyness. I am not happy. Could you help me find new solicitors?
A lawyer would need to be very bad to suggest diss instructing them. Has the mortgage offer been sent? If so you must inform them of the new contact details and get the mortgage documents are issued to the new lawyers. Your solicitor ideally should be on the lenders approved list to avoid escalating charges and delays. So that should be your first question of the new solicitors.

I need to swap lawyers as my Shoeburyness lawyer is not on the mortgage company's panel of conveyancing solicitors. How simple is it to change conveyancer?
If you haven't yet appointed a conveyancer to commence the conveyancing and at this stage simply received an estimate as to costs, you're perfectly free to choose a different solicitor to carry out your work for you. The best way is to get recommendations from friends or family who have actually used the solicitor or conveyancer in Shoeburyness that you're considering.
