I am due to complete buying a house in Spital but as a result of wreckage from the recent storms I have managed to agree recompense from the vendor of £2k by way of a adjustment in the price. This was going to be addressed as part of a side agreement but Lloyds will not permit this. Why were they notified?
The property lawyer being on a Lloyds conveyancing panel is duty bound to advise Lloyds of any variations to the sale price. If you prohibit your conveyancer to disclose the price change to Lloyds then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Lloyds and you would have to appoint a new lawyer for your conveyancing in Spital.

I have just appointed agents to market my ground floor apartment in Spital. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, however I have just had a half-yearly service charge demand – what should I do?
Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should clear the maintenance contribution as you normally would because all ground rent and maintenance invoices will be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer until 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.

Is there a distinction between surveying and conveyancing in Spital?
Conveyancing - in Spital or anywhere in England and Wales - is the legal term given to transferring legal title of property from one person to another. It therefore includes the checking of the title. Whether buying or selling, you should be aware of anything affecting the property such as proposals by government departments, illegal buildings, or outstanding rates. The conveyancer should conduct the appropriate searches and inquiries on the property. Surveying relates to the structure of a property itself. A surveyor will look at a house, flat and any outbuildings you are purchasing and will help you find out about the condition of the building and, if there are problems, give you leverage for negotiating the buying price down or asking the seller to fix the defects prior to you move in.
