Me and my partner are due to exchange on the purchase of a property in Ottershaw but as a result of damage from the recent storms I have managed to agree recompense from the seller of £3k by way of a adjustment in the price. This was going to be addressed as part of a side agreement yet Co-operative are not allowing this. Should they have been informed?

The conveyancer being on the Co-operative approved list is required to disclose to Co-operative of any variations to the sale price. If you prohibit your conveyancing practitioner to report the price change to Co-operative then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Co-operative and you would have to appoint a new solicitor for your conveyancing in Ottershaw.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Ottershaw is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can give?

Flying freeholds in Ottershaw are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Ottershaw you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Ottershaw may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
