I am about to exchange on the purchase of a property in Wilmslow but as a consequence of wreckage from the recent storms I have managed to agree recompense from the vendor of three thousand pounds by way of a reduction in the price. I had intended this to be addressed as part of a side agreement yet TSB are not allowing this. Should they have been involved?
Any conveyancing practitioner that is on a TSB approved list is required to disclose to TSB of any variations to the purchase price. If you were to refuse your conveyancer to report the price change to TSB then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, TSB and you would have to appoint a new conveyancing practitioner for your conveyancing in Wilmslow.

Here are examples of a selection of leasehold new build questions that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Wilmslow
-
Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? 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. Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified.

If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Wilmslow.

As co-executor for the estate of my aunt I am disposing of a property in Cardiff but I am based in Wilmslow. My conveyancer (who is 260 kilometers from mehas requested that I sign a stat dec ahead of completion. Could you suggest a conveyancing practitioner in Wilmslow to attest and place their company stamp on the document?
Technically speaking you are unlikely to be required to have the documents witnessed by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally or notary public or qualified solicitor will suffice regardless of whether they are based in Wilmslow
My plan is to purchase a ground floor flat in Wilmslow. Conveyancing lawyer has been awaiting, from the seller, building insurance documents. This afternoon I was advised that the vendor needs to send the insurance documents for the flat above as well. Why would my solicitor need to check the insurance for the other flat? Is it really required? We have been in hold for the previous fortnight…
It is not unheard of in leasehold conveyancing in Wilmslow to find Conveyancing in Wilmslow in a minority of cases reveals that the lease provides for the tenant's to insure their individual flats as opposed to the freeholder insuring the complete block - which is definitely better. You should contact your property lawyer but it would appear that your solicitor is attempting to verify that the complete building is insured. Insuring a ground floor flat is no help when it comes to rebuilding after a fire if the other flat cannot be rebuilt for lack of insurance cover.
