Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Scarborough

I am soon to complete on the purchase of a house in Scarborough but as a result of wreckage from some water damage at the property I have managed to agree recompense from the current proprietors in the sum of six thousand pounds by way of a deduction in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of a side agreement however Barclays are not allowing this. Should they have been informed?

Your conveyancer that is on the Barclays approved list is required to advise Barclays of any variations to the purchase price. If you prohibit your lawyer to report the price change 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 Scarborough.

Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Nationwide. Scarborough conveyancing practitioners are instructed. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Nationwide?

There is no definitive answer here. Have Nationwide conducted the valuation? Have you informed Nationwide as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Nationwide conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.

Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my house are lost. The solicitors who conducted the conveyancing in Scarborough 4 years ago are no longer around. What are my next steps?

Nowadays there are copies made of almost everything, and your lawyer should know exactly where to locate all the suitable documentation so you may purchase or dispose of your property without any difficulty. If duplicates can’t be found, your conveyancer may be able to arrange cover in the form of insurance or indemnities protecting you against future claims on the property.

I opted to have a survey completed on a house in Scarborough in advance of appointing conveyancers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold element to the house. My surveyor advised that some banks may refuse to grant a loan on such a house.
