My wife and I are about to exchange buying a house in Morpeth but as a consequence of wreckage from some water damage at the property I have managed to agree recompense from the current proprietors in the sum of £3k by way of a adjustment in the price. I had intended this to be addressed as part of amending the contract but Nottingham will not permit this. Why were they involved?
The property lawyer being on a Nottingham approved list is obliged to advise Nottingham of any changes to the sale price. If you prohibit your solicitor to notify the reduction to Nottingham then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Nottingham and you would have to appoint a new solicitor for your conveyancing in Morpeth.

Should my conveyancer be raising questions about flooding during the conveyancing in Morpeth.
Flooding is a growing risk for conveyancers carrying out conveyancing in Morpeth. There are those who purchase a house in Morpeth, completely expectant that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, leaving to one side the physical damage, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, adequate building insurance, or sell the property. Steps can be carried out during the course of a property purchase to forewarn the buyer.
Conveyancers are not qualified to offer advice on flood risk, but there are a numerous searches that can be initiated by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which should figure out the risks in Morpeth. The standard information sent to a purchaser’s conveyancer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) incorporates a usual question of the owner to discover whether the property has suffered from flooding. In the event that the residence has been flooded in past which is not notified by the vendor, then a purchaser could bring a claim for damages as a result of such an incorrect reply. The buyer’s solicitors will also commission an enviro report. This should higlight if there is any known flood risk. If so, more detailed inquiries should be initiated.
Just bought a terraced house in Morpeth , how long should it take for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing the transfer to my name? My Morpeth conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to check that my name is registered.
As far as conveyancing in Morpeth is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timescales can vary according to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry communicate with any interested parties. As of today roughly three quarters of such applications are fully dealt with within two weeks but some can be subject to protracted delays. Registration is effected after the buyer has moved in to the property thus 'speed' is not usually primary concern but where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
My step-father has urged me to instruct his lawyers for conveyancing in Morpeth. Should I use them?
