We are due to complete buying a house in Desford but as a consequence of wreckage from the recent storms I have was able negotiate recompense from the owner in the sum of six thousand pounds in the form of a adjustment in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process however RBS will not agree to this. Should they have been notified?
The solicitor that is on a RBS approved list is obliged to inform RBS of any changes to the sale price. If you were to refuse your lawyer to notify the price change to RBS then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, RBS and you would have to appoint a new lawyer for your conveyancing in Desford.
I am downsizing from our house in Desford and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. Any local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers instructed a nationwide conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Desford. Having lived in Desford for six years we know of no issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to obtain confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer already. Are they able to advise? You need to check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same ailment)
Due to the guidance of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Desford prior to retaining conveyancers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold element to the house. The surveyor advised that some banks may refuse to give a loan on such a premises.
It varies from the lender to lender. Santander has different requirements for example to Halifax. Should you wish to telephone us we can check via the relevant bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Desford. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Desford to see if the conveyancing will be more expensive.
