My wife and I are due to complete buying a property in Caversham but as a result of wreckage from a small fire at the property I have was able negotiate reparation from the owner of £2k in the form of a adjustment in the price. I had intended this to be addressed as part of amending the contract yet Skipton are not allowing this. Why were they approached?

The property lawyer that is on a Skipton approved list is obliged to inform Skipton of any changes to the sale price. If you were to refuse your property lawyer to notify the price change to Skipton then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Skipton and you would have to appoint a new conveyancing practitioner for your conveyancing in Caversham.

I own a 4 bedroom Edwardian property in Caversham. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Aldermore. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw a couple of entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same address. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??

You should read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Caversham and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also check the position with the conveyancing lawyer who conducted the conveyancing.
