We are due to exchange on the purchase of a property in Hazel Grove but as a consequence of wreckage from the recent storms I have was able negotiate recompense from the vendor in the sum of £3k by way of a deduction in the price. I had intended this to be addressed as part of amending the contract however Co-operative will not agree to this. Should they have been involved?
The lawyer that is on a Co-operative conveyancing panel is duty bound 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 conveyancing practitioner for your conveyancing in Hazel Grove.
My partner and I are downsizing from our property in Hazel Grove and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. Any local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers instructed a web based conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Hazel Grove. We have lived in Hazel Grove for many years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to get clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You need to check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same ailment)
I have recentlyfound out that Arc property Solicitors have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Hazel Grove for a purchase of a leasehold flat 12 months ago. How can I check that the property is registered correctly in the name of the former proprietor?
The quickest method to check if the premises is registered to you, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Hazel Grove conveyancing specialists.
I'm purchasing a new build house in Hazel Grove with the aid of help to buy. The developers refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The property agent suggested that I not inform my lawyer about this side-deal as it will impact my loan with the bank. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

Me and my wife accepted an offer on a Hazel Grove ground floor flat we inherited six years ago in 2010. I have over ten years conveyancing knowledge and, now retired, see no reason not to undertake my own legal work. The buyer's conveyancer has informed me that their Lenders will not allow you to do your own conveyancing requiring the funds to be transferred to a solicitor's bank account.
Mortgage requirements to lawyers from all CML members state that If the vendor is not legally represented the borrower's lawyers should check whether the bank needs to be notified so that a decision can be made as to whether they are willing to move forward.
