Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Sutton on Trent may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.

We are about to complete buying a house in Sutton on Trent but as a result of wreckage from the recent storms I have agreed compensation from the vendor of £2k by way of a reduction in the price. This was going to be addressed as part of the conveyancing process yet the bank will not agree to this. Should they have been approached?

Any property lawyer being on a lender conveyancing panel is required to disclose to the mortgage company of any changes to the sale figure. If you prohibit your conveyancing practitioner to report the price change to your lender then they would have to refrain from acting for you and the lender.
