I am about to complete buying a house in Sunningdale but as a result of wreckage from the recent storms I have managed to agree recompense from the owner in the sum of £3k by way of a adjustment in the price. I had intended this to be addressed as part of the conveyancing process however Co-operative are not allowing this. Should they have been notified?
Any lawyer that is on the Co-operative approved list is required to disclose to Co-operative of any variations to the sale price. If you prohibit your property lawyer to notify the price change to Co-operative then they would have to discontinue acting for you.

This question may be naive but I am wet behind the ears as FTB of a ground floor flat in Sunningdale. Do I collect the keys to the property on the completion date from my conveyancer? If so, I will appoint a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Sunningdale?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion.

Usually this happens between 1 and 3pm.
I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Sunningdale off the council. I have a mortgage offer with Kent Reliance. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Kent Reliance, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel.

Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in last month in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Sunningdale is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Sunningdale are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Sunningdale you would need to get your solicitor to go 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 Sunningdale 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.
