Me and my partner are due to exchange on the purchase of a property in Yeovil but as a result of damage from a small fire at the property I have was able negotiate reparation from the owner in the sum of £3k in the form of a reduction in the price. This was going to be addressed as part of amending the contract however Virgin Money are not allowing this. Should they have been informed?

The property lawyer being on the Virgin Money approved list is duty bound to disclose to Virgin Money of any changes to the purchase price. If you prohibit your lawyer to notify 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 solicitor for your conveyancing in Yeovil.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Yeovil is where the house is located. Can you offer any advice?

Flying freeholds in Yeovil are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Yeovil you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Yeovil may determine 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.
