I am about to complete buying a property in North Hykeham but as a result of damage from the recent storms I have was able negotiate recompense from the current proprietors in the sum of £2k in the form of a deduction in the price. This was going to be addressed as part of amending the contract yet Barclays are not allowing this. Why were they notified?
Any solicitor being on the Barclays approved list is obliged to disclose to Barclays of any changes to the sale price. If you were to refuse your conveyancer to report the reduction to Barclays then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Barclays and you would have to appoint a new conveyancer for your conveyancing in North Hykeham.

If a North Hykeham lease has fewer than 80 years it will impact the salability of the flat. It is worth checking with your bank that they are content with the length of the lease. Leases with fewer than 80 years remaining means that you will probably require a lease extension sooner rather than later and it is worth finding out how much this will be. Remember, in most cases you would need to own the property for two years in order to be entitled to extend the lease. What prohibitions are there in the North Hykeham Lease? The majority of North Hykeham leasehold flats will incur a service charge for maintenance of the block set by the freeholder. Should you purchase the apartment you will have to meet this amount, usually quarterly accross the year.

There will also be a rentcharge to be met annual, this is usually not a exorbitant figure, say approximately £50-£100 but you need to enquire as sometimes it could be many hundreds of pounds.
My work colleague mentioned that when choosing a conveyancing solicitors they need approved by your lender. This is my first house move but I have an AIP via Halifax and I already have a local conveyancing lawyer in North Hykeham lined up. Can Halifax need an approved conveyancer to be selected? If so, where do I find that list so I can choose a conveyancing lawyer in North Hykeham?
You should instruct a solicitor that is on the Halifax panel. The simplest thing to do is ring your preferred North Hykeham conveyancing solicitor and ask if they are on the Halifax panel. If they are not approved you have a number of alternatives available to you here:
- Proceed with your chosen North Hykeham solicitor but Halifax will no doubt instruct a property lawyer from their approved list. This will result in additional charges and potential interruption.
- Appoint a fresh conveyancing practitioner to act in the purchase, making sure they are on the Halifax conveyancing panel.
- Appeal to your property lawyer to seek to join the bank panel.
