We are soon to complete buying a house in Yoxall but as a consequence of wreckage from the recent storms I have managed to agree recompense from the seller in the sum of £2k by way of a deduction in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of a side agreement yet TSB are not allowing this. Why were they involved?
Any conveyancing practitioner being on a TSB conveyancing panel is duty bound to advise TSB of any amendments to the sale price. If you were to refuse your conveyancing practitioner to disclose 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 solicitor for your conveyancing in Yoxall.

Given you intend to re-mortgage then Nationwide will require that you use a conveyancer on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. Here is link to the Land Registry online guidance around what to do when a property owner dies.

Your Nationwide conveyancing panel solicitor pays the new mortgage money into the estate, the estate pays off the old mortgage, the charge is released and you become the owner and the Nationwide mortgage is registered as a charge at the Land Registry.

How does conveyancing in Yoxall differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Yoxall contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is finished. This is because new home sellers in Yoxall tend to purchase the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Yoxall or who has acted in the same development.
I decided to have a survey carried out on a house in Yoxall before appointing conveyancers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold element to the property. Our surveyor has said that some lenders may refuse to grant a loan on such a premises.
It varies from the lender to lender. Bank of Scotland has different requirements for example to Birmingham Midshires. If you e-mail us we can check via the appropriate mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Yoxall. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Yoxall to see if the conveyancing costs will increase in light of this.
