We are soon to complete buying a property in Manselton but as a consequence of wreckage from a small fire at the property I have was able negotiate compensation from the vendor of £2k in the form of a deduction in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of amending the contract yet Co-operative will not agree to this. Should they have been involved?
Your conveyancer that is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel is obliged to advise Co-operative of any amendments to the purchase price. If you were to refuse your solicitor to disclose 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 property lawyer for your conveyancing in Manselton.
Are the Manselton conveyancing solicitors identified as being on the Santander conveyancing panel, together with their details provided by Santander?
Manselton conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Santander conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Santander directly.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Manselton is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Manselton are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Manselton 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 Manselton 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 premises.
