My wife and I are due to exchange on the purchase of a property in Carnforth but as a result of damage from the recent storms I have was able negotiate reparation from the vendor in the sum of three thousand pounds by way of a reduction in the price. This was going to be addressed as part of a side agreement but Co-operative will not permit this. Why were they notified?

The conveyancer that is on the Co-operative approved list is obliged to inform Co-operative of any variations to the sale price. If you were to refuse your solicitor to notify the reduction to Co-operative then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Co-operative and you would have to appoint a new property lawyer for your conveyancing in Carnforth.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in last month in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Carnforth is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?

Flying freeholds in Carnforth are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Carnforth you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Carnforth 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 residence.
