My wife and I are soon to exchange buying a house in Crowthorne but as a consequence of wreckage from the recent storms I have managed to agree recompense from the vendor in the sum of £3k taking the form of a adjustment in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process yet Yorkshire BS are not allowing this. Should they have been informed?
The conveyancing practitioner that is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel is required to disclose to Yorkshire BS of any changes to the purchase price. If you were to refuse your solicitor to notify the reduction to Yorkshire BS then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Yorkshire BS and you would have to appoint a new property lawyer for your conveyancing in Crowthorne.
It has been three months following my purchase conveyancing in Crowthorne completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £215,000. Why the discrepancy?

It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the asset 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.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

I have just appointed agents to market my garden apartment in Crowthorne. Conveyancing has not commenced, but I have just received a half-yearly service charge demand – what should I do?

Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date.
