We are due to exchange buying a house in Sefton but as a consequence of damage from some water damage at the property I have managed to agree compensation from the owner of £3k in the form of a deduction in the price. I had intended this to be addressed as part of a side agreement but Bank of Ireland will not agree to this. Should they have been notified?
The property lawyer that is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel is duty bound to inform Bank of Ireland of any variations to the sale price. If you prohibit your conveyancer to notify the reduction to Bank of Ireland then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Bank of Ireland and you would have to appoint a new property lawyer for your conveyancing in Sefton.
Can you explain why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Sefton is more expensive?
The conveyancing fees for a leasehold property in Sefton is often higher than on a freehold transaction. This is because there is an amount of additional work necessary in liaising with the landlord and management company to obtain information concerning whether the rent and maintenance fee have been cleared and whether there are any large sums expected to be spent in the foreseeable future on repairs or maintenance of the block.
My wife and I are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our property in Sefton and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers are using a national conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Sefton. We have lived in Sefton for three years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to seek clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. What do they say? You should enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same illness)
