My wife and I are about to complete on the purchase of a house in Bilston but as a consequence of wreckage from a small fire at the property I have managed to agree recompense from the owner in the sum of £3k taking the form of a adjustment in the price. I had intended this to be addressed as part of amending the contract yet Aldermore are not allowing this. Should they have been approached?
Any lawyer being on a Aldermore conveyancing panel is duty bound to disclose to Aldermore of any changes to the sale price. If you prohibit your conveyancing practitioner to disclose the price change to Aldermore then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Aldermore and you would have to appoint a new property lawyer for your conveyancing in Bilston.
The Bilston conveyancing firm that I recently instructed on my purchase in Bilston have without warning closed. I only went with them because I needed a lawyer on the Principality conveyancing panel and my family Bilston lawyer was not. I paid them £170 in advance. What do I do now?
Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then let them know straight away so that they advise the vendors that there may be a slight delay due to the problems encountered. Most sellers would be sympathetic and urge their lawyer to send a new set of papers to your new solicitors. You will need to appoint new lawyers that are on the Principality conveyancing panel and notify the lender. If you have paid over any money, it will hopefully be held by the SRA as money in an intervened firm's bank accounts is transferred to the SRA. Then, the SRA or the intervention agent looks at the intervened firm's accounts to work out who the money belongs to. To claim your money you will need to contact the SRA. If the SRA cannot return money you are owed from the firm's bank accounts, or if they can only return part of the money, you can apply to the Compensation Fund for a grant. Your new solicitors may be able to help.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Bilston is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Bilston are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Bilston you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Bilston may decide 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 residence.

How does one as executor remove a deceased person's name from the title register for a property in Bilston?
If a Bilston property is jointly owned and one of the proprietors dies, their name will not automatically be removed from the title deeds. It is not necessary to amend the title as when it comes to a disposal your conveyancer would just be required to supply proof why the joint proprietor is not a party to the contract, ordinarily this is in the form of a grant of probate.
With a view to making the sale conveyancing simpler for the sale of the property you may apply to have the deceased person removed from the title by applying to the land registry with evidence of the death. There is no land registry fee payable.
