We are due to complete on the purchase of a house in Trimdon but as a result of wreckage from a small fire at the property I have managed to agree compensation from the vendor of £3k in the form of a adjustment in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of amending the contract but Co-operative are not allowing this. Should they have been involved?
Your conveyancer being on a Co-operative approved list is obliged to inform Co-operative of any changes to the sale price. If you were to refuse your lawyer to report the reduction to Co-operative then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Co-operative and you would have to appoint a new lawyer for your conveyancing in Trimdon.
I have been told that property searches are the main reason for stalling in Trimdon conveyancing transactions. Is there any truth in this?

I am purchasing my first flat in Trimdon with the aid of help to buy. The developers refused to move on the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative advised me not reveal to my solicitor about the extras as it may put at risk my mortgage with the bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Trimdon is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Trimdon are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Trimdon you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Trimdon 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.
