My partner and I have organised a further advance on our home loan from Co-operative as we want to conduct a loft conversion to our property in Woolton. Do we need to appoint a high street Woolton solicitor on the Co-operative conveyancing panel to deal with the paperwork?

Co-operative would not normally instruct a member of their conveyancing panel to deal with such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Co-operative panel.

Having digested plenty of house buying guides, I note that it is considered advisable to get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Woolton solicitor - who is on the HSBC conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. is that correct?

HSBC will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually HSBC will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Woolton surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.

Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in Woolton.

My husband and I are FTB’s - agreed a price, yet the estate agent advised that the seller will only go ahead if we appoint their recommended conveyancers as they want an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a family solicitor who is familiar with conveyancing in Woolton

We suspect that the seller is not behind this request. If they desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious buyer is counter productive. Avoid the agents and go straight to the owners and make sure they understand (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you will continue to instruct your preferred Woolton conveyancing lawyers - rather thanthose that will earn their negotiator at the agency a referral fee or hit his conveyancing targets demanded by head office.

I have just started marketing my basement apartment in Woolton. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, however I have just received a yearly service charge demand – what should I do?

It best that you clear the service charge as you normally would given that all rents and maintenance invoices should be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
