The vendors of the home we are hoping to buy hired a conveyancing firm in Waltham Abbey who has insisted on a exclusivity agreement with a deposit 10k. Are such agreements promoted for Waltham Abbey conveyancing transactions?

My brother-in-law has suggested I instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Waltham Abbey. I I am struggling to find out whether they are on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. Can you assist?
You should e-mail your conveyancer and ask them whether they are on the lender panel. Alternatively please get in touch with Clydesdale who may be able to confirm.
It has been five months following my purchase conveyancing in Waltham Abbey took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £215,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Waltham Abbey is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Waltham Abbey are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Waltham Abbey you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Waltham Abbey may decide 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.

Me and my wife are expecting to exchange on the purchase a house in Waltham Abbey but as a result of damage from the recent storms I have agreed compensation from the owner of five thousand pounds by way of a adjustment in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process however my bank will not permit this. Why were they approached?
Any lawyer listed on the bank conveyancing panel is required to advise the bank of any amendments to the purchase figure. If you were to refuse your conveyancing practitioner to report the price change to your mortgage company then they would have to discontinue representing you and the mortgage company.
