We are due to exchange on the purchase of a house in Whimple but as a result of wreckage from some water damage at the property I have was able negotiate compensation from the current proprietors of £3k in the form of a adjustment in the price. I had intended this to be addressed as part of the conveyancing process yet Coventry BS will not agree to this. Should they have been involved?

Any property lawyer being on a Coventry BS conveyancing panel is duty bound to advise Coventry BS of any variations to the purchase price.

What happens if my lawyer’s firm is suspended from the Kent Reliance Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Whimple?

First, this is a very rare occurrence. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit at a cost.

Me and my partner are purchasing a apartment in Whimple. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a solicitor? On completion day we have to send funds into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our money?

Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.

The formalities of my remortgage has taken place for my property in Whimple. Conveyancing was satisfactory but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. How do I make a complaint?

Most banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Team at head office. Ordinarily complaints to a lender are resolved very quickly. If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service who will take matters further.

After much negotiation I have agreed a price on an apartment in Whimple. My financial adviser pressured me to appoint their lawyer. I paid an on account payment of £225. Not long after, the property lawyer called me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Principality conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?

You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Principality panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Whimple is the location of the property. What do you suggest?

Flying freeholds in Whimple are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Whimple you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Whimple may ascertain 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.
