My wife and I are soon to exchange buying a property in Wembley Park but as a result of damage from a small fire at the property I have managed to agree compensation from the seller of six thousand pounds by way of a adjustment in the price. I had intended this to be addressed as part of amending the contract however Co-operative are not allowing this. Should they have been involved?
Your conveyancer being on a Co-operative approved list is duty bound to inform Co-operative of any changes to the purchase price. If you prohibit your property lawyer to notify the price change to Co-operative then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Co-operative and you would have to appoint a new conveyancing practitioner for your conveyancing in Wembley Park.
Why do I have to pay up front when it comes to conveyancing in Wembley Park?
If you are buying a property in Wembley Park your solicitor will ask you to provide them with funds to cover the the cost of the conveyancing searches. This will be the total of the cost of the conveyancing searches. When the down payment is payable against the purchase price then this will be needed shortly ahead of exchange of contracts. The final balance that is needed should be sent to your lawyer shortly before completion.

Where you intend to refinance then Clydesdale will require that you use a conveyancer on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. Here is link to the Land Registry online guidance around what to do when a property owner dies. This will help you to understand the registration process behind changing the details re the registered title. in your case it would appear that you are effectively purchasing the property from the estate. Your Clydesdale conveyancing panel solicitor pays the new mortgage money into the estate, the estate pays off the old mortgage, the charge is released and you become the owner and the Clydesdale mortgage is registered as a charge at the Land Registry.

I was advised by numerous property agents in Wembley Park to choose a conveyancer on your site. Is there a financial advantage for Estate Agents to market your services ahead of a competitor’s?
