Me and my partner are soon to complete buying a property in Mayfair but as a consequence of damage from the recent storms I have was able negotiate compensation from the vendor in the sum of £2k taking the form of a reduction in the price. This was going to be addressed as part of the conveyancing process but Aldermore are not allowing this. Should they have been involved?

Any solicitor being on the Aldermore approved list is duty bound to advise Aldermore of any changes to the sale price.

    There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Mayfair is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can impart?

Flying freeholds in Mayfair are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Mayfair 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 Mayfair 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.

Are Mayfair conveyancing solicitors duty bound by the Law Society to publish clear conveyancing costs?

Contained within the Solicitors Code of Conduct are prescriptive rules and regulations as to how the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) allow solicitors to publicise their fees to clients.The Law Society have a practice note giving advice on how to publicise transparent charges to avoid breaching any such rule. Practice notes are not legal advice issued by the Law Society and is not intended as the only standard of good practice a conveyancing solicitor should adhere to. The Practice Note does, nevertheless, constitute the Law Society’s perspective of acceptable practice for publicising conveyancing charges, and accordingly it’s a recommended read for any solicitor or conveyancer in Mayfair or beyond.
