I am due to exchange on the purchase of a property in Holsworthy but as a result of wreckage from a small fire at the property I have managed to agree compensation from the vendor in the sum of £3k in the form of a deduction in the price. I had intended this to be addressed as part of a side agreement however Yorkshire BS are not allowing this. Should they have been approached?
Your conveyancer being on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel is duty bound to disclose to Yorkshire BS of any changes to the sale price. If you were to refuse your conveyancing practitioner to notify the price change to Yorkshire BS then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Yorkshire BS and you would have to appoint a new lawyer for your conveyancing in Holsworthy.
It has been five months since my purchase conveyancing in Holsworthy completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the property from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

Holsworthy conveyancing on leasehold apartments often necessitates the purchaser’s conveyancer sending questions for the landlord to answer. Although the landlord is not legally bound to answer these enquiries most will be content to assist. They may levy a reasonable administration fee for answering enquiries or supplying documentation. There is no upper cap for such fees. The average costs for the paperwork that you are referring to is over three hundred pounds, in some situations it is above £800. The administration charge levied by the landlord must be accompanied by a synopsis of rights and obligations in relation to administration charges, without which the charge is not strictly payable. Reality however dictates that you have no choice but to pay whatever is demanded should you wish to complete the sale of your home.
