I am soon to complete buying a house in Silsworth but as a consequence of damage from the recent storms I have managed to agree recompense from the current proprietors in the sum of £2k by way of a reduction in the price. I had intended this to be addressed as part of a side agreement however Clydesdale are not allowing this. Why were they involved?

Any conveyancing practitioner being on the Clydesdale approved list is duty bound to advise Clydesdale of any changes to the purchase price. If you were to refuse your property lawyer to disclose the price change to Clydesdale then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Clydesdale and you would have to appoint a new property lawyer for your conveyancing in Silsworth.

As someone with no idea as to the Silsworth conveyancing process what’s the number one tip you can impart concerning the ownership transfer in Silsworth

You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Silsworth or throughout Tyne And Wear is often a confrontational experience. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there is lots of opportunity for confrontation between you and other parties involved in the legal transfer of property. E.g., the vendor, selling agent and even potentially a lender. Choosing a lawyer for your conveyancing in Silsworth should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE party in the process whose role it is to act in your best interests and to protect you.

There is a worrying emergence of a "blame" culture- someone must be blamed for the process taking so long. We recommend that you your first instinct should be to trust your lawyer above all other players when it comes to the legal transfer of property.

My property lawyer in Silsworth has never been on on the HSBC Bank Approved Panel. Is it possible for me to use my prefered solicitor even though they are not on the HSBC Bank panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?

The limited options open to you here include:

  1. Carry on with your existing Silsworth lawyers but HSBC Bank will need to retain a lawyer on their panel. This will result in additional overall conveyancing charges as well as cause frustration.
  2. Choose a new practitioner to act in the conveyancing, obviously checking they are HSBC Bank approved.
  3. Persuade your HSBC Bank based solicitor to try to join the HSBC Bank panel

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on last month in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Silsworth is the location of the property. Can you offer any advice?

Flying freeholds in Silsworth are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Silsworth you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Silsworth 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 residence.

Why am I unable to complete our conveyancing in Silsworth on Easter Monday?

This is due to the fact that on completion the money needs to pass between the banks of the purchaser and owner’s lawyer and currently this can only occur on a working day. So you can't complete on a weekend either.
