My wife and I are soon to complete buying a property in Warrington but as a consequence of damage from a small fire at the property I have managed to agree recompense from the owner of three thousand pounds in the form of a deduction in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process but Virgin Money are not allowing this. Why were they informed?
The conveyancer that is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel is required to inform Virgin Money of any variations to the sale price. If you were to refuse your conveyancing practitioner to disclose the price change to Virgin Money then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Virgin Money and you would have to appoint a new conveyancer for your conveyancing in Warrington.

I can not work out if my mortgage offer requires a lease extension. I have called into my local Warrington building society branch on various occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they will lend. My Warrington conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they would not lend based on their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. Who do I believe?
As long as the lawyer is on the lender approved list, she or he must follow the CML Handbook conditions for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
I recently had an offer agreed on an apartment in Warrington. My mortgage broker suggested a solicitor. I paid an advanced payment of £225. A few days later, the property lawyer contacted me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the Barclays conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Barclays panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

I've recently bought a leasehold property in Warrington. Do I have any liability for service charges for periods before completion of my purchase?
In a situation where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous owner and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. Strange as it may seem, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. A critical element of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to ensure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).

I have been advised by numerous friends that it may take six to eight weeks for Warrington conveyancing to complete.This was a month ago. The paperwork was only forwarded to my conveyancing practitioner last week so does the clock start running now?
Do not count on completing on a specific date until contracts are exchanged. Whatever promises the people you are purchasing from or selling to make, or your financial adviser makes don't rely on them. More frustration is caused to home movers by unfulfilled assurances than anything else.
