Me and my partner are soon to complete on the purchase of a house in tipton but as a result of damage from the recent storms I have managed to agree recompense from the vendor of £2k taking the form of a deduction in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process yet Barclays are not allowing this. Should they have been informed?
Any lawyer being on a Barclays conveyancing panel is obliged to inform Barclays of any amendments to the sale price. If you prohibit your solicitor to notify the reduction to Barclays then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Barclays and you would have to appoint a new conveyancer for your conveyancing in tipton.

My husband and I are novice buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the estate agent advised that the seller will only proceed if we appoint their chosen conveyancers as they need a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in tipton
It is improbable the sellers are driving this. Should the seller want ‘a quick sale', turning down a genuine purchaser is likely to cause more damage than good. Bypass the agents and go straight to the owners and make sure they understand (a)you are genuine buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you will continue to instruct your preferred tipton conveyancing lawyers - as opposed tothe ones that will earn their negotiator at the agency a kickback or achieve conveyancing targets set by head office.
I am hoping to exchange soon on a garden flat in tipton. Conveyancing lawyers inform me that they are sending me a report tomorrow. Are there areas in the report that I should be focusing on?

Its a good idea to discover as much as possible about the company managing the block as they can either make your life much simpler or problematic. Being a leasehold owner you are often at the mercy of the managing agents both financially and when it comes to daily issues like the cleanliness of the common parts. Ask other people what they think of their service. On a final note, find out the dates that the maintenance charges are due to the managing agents and specifically how they are spending the funds. Can you tell me if there are any major works on the horizon that will likely increase the maintenance fees? For many tipton leaseholds the outlay for major works tend not to be incorporated into the service charges, albeit that some managing agents in tipton obliged tenants to contribute towards a reserve fund and this is used to offset against larger works.
Me and my wife have just had an offer agreed on a house and had an appointment on Wednesday with HSBC for the mortgage. They advised me that when it comes to appointing a conveyancing practitioner that unless they are on their approved panel of lawyers then we will incur an additional charge of £200. This is because they would then have to select a solicitor to act for them as well as the one we choose to act for ourselves and we assume responsibility for their costs. I have requested HSBC to send me with a list so I can request quotes only from their approved lawyers but was told they dont have such a list to hand over. Is there a list online?
You should ask HSBC what their panel criteria is for a conveyancer.Then ask the lawyer of your choice whether they fit that criteria and have they acted on mortgages for HSBC in the past. Where the answer to those is yes, then just double check with HSBC. Alternatively please use our search tool and we should be able to locate a solicitor in tipton on the approved list for HSBC.
