My wife and I are about to exchange on the purchase of a house in Nuneaton but as a result of wreckage from some water damage at the property I have was able negotiate reparation from the vendor in the sum of £2k in the form of a deduction in the price. This was going to be addressed as part of a side agreement however Clydesdale are not allowing this. Why were they informed?
The property lawyer being on the Clydesdale approved list is obliged to advise Clydesdale of any amendments to the sale price. If you were to refuse your property lawyer to disclose the price change to Clydesdale then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Clydesdale and you would have to appoint a new property lawyer for your conveyancing in Nuneaton.
I can see plenty of here about conveyancing in Nuneaton but can you isolate your top tip for finding the right conveyancer in Nuneaton
Do not opt for the cheapest Nuneaton conveyancing fees. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.
I am selling my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in November 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Co-operative are being a right pain. The Nuneaton solicitor who is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Co-operative are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Co-operative have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Co-operative have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Co-operative may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
I had an offer accepted on an apartment in Nuneaton on 26/2/2026, valuation was booked 4 days later, received a clean bill of health. Conveyancer instructed, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Barclays and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Barclays conveyancing panel. Can the lender hold off the offer?
A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Barclays to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Barclays conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
I acquired my house on 12 January and the transaction details is not yet on the land registry website. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Nuneaton advises it should be concluded in a couple of weeks. Are transfers in Nuneaton particularly slow to register?
As far as conveyancing in Nuneaton is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can vary according to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry need to notify any 3rd parties. As of today roughly 80% of submission are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but some can be subject to protracted hold-ups. Historically registration occurs once the purchaser has moved in to the property so an expedited registration is not typically an essential issue yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer could contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.

I own a leasehold flat in Nuneaton. Conveyancing and Alliance & Leicester mortgage are in place. I have received a letter from someone claiming to own the reversionary interest in the property. Attached was a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1996. The conveyancing practitioner in Nuneaton who acted for me is not around. Any advice?
First make enquiries of the Land Registry to make sure that this person is indeed the new freeholder. You do not need to incur the fees of a Nuneaton conveyancing lawyer to do this as it can be done on-line for a few pound. You should note that in any event, even if this is the rightful freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.

I have read on a number of online forums that before selecting a conveyancing solicitors they need approved by your lender. It happens to be my first home move but I have an AIP with Santander and I already have a family conveyancing lawyer in Nuneaton on standby. Will Halifax require an approved lawyer to be used? If so, where can I find that list so I can choose a conveyancing solicitor in Nuneaton?
You should use a solicitor that is on the Halifax panel. The simplest thing to do is call your preferred Nuneaton conveyancing lawyer and ask if they are on the Halifax panel. If they are not on the panel you have a couple of options open to you here:
- Complete the purchase with your existing Nuneaton conveyancer but Halifax will need to appoint a conveyancing practitioner on their conveyancing panel. The net impact is additional fees and likely interruption.
- Choose a new property lawyer to act in the purchase, ensuring that they are on the Halifax conveyancing panel.
- Convince your lawyer to attempt to join the bank panel.
