I am soon to exchange buying a house in Bozeat but as a consequence of wreckage from some water damage at the property I have was able negotiate compensation from the current proprietors of three thousand pounds taking the form of a deduction in the price. This was going to be addressed as part of a side agreement yet Skipton will not agree to this. Why were they approached?
Your conveyancer that is on the Skipton conveyancing panel is required to inform Skipton of any variations to the purchase price. If you were to refuse your property lawyer to notify the price change to Skipton then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Skipton and you would have to appoint a new conveyancing practitioner for your conveyancing in Bozeat.
We note that you have a post code search directory identifying firms on the Skipton conveyancing panel. Do firms pay you a commission if I retain them for our own conveyancing in Bozeat?
We are a listing service only for law firms wishing to communicate if they are on the Skipton conveyancing panel or other lender panels. We do not charge referral fees to any conveyancer that you subsequently appoint for your conveyancing in Bozeat.
Due to the advice of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Bozeat in advance of appointing lawyers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold element to the house. My surveyor has said that some mortgage companies may not issue a mortgage on such a house.
It depends who your proposed lender is. Lloyds has different requirements from Halifax. Should you wish to call us we can investigate further with the appropriate bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Bozeat. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.
Is it possible to transfer to a new solicitor as I have to find one who is on the Accord Mortgages Ltd conveyancing panel. I hired a high street conveyancing solicitor in Bozeat round the corner but he is not approved by Accord Mortgages Ltd

Please note that the law firms that we list do not pay us a referral fee if you instruct them and are fully regulated by the SRA who oversee all conveyancing solicitors in Bozeat.

We're FTB’s - had an offer accepted, yet the selling agent informed us that the vendor will only move forward if we appoint the agent's preferred conveyancers as they want a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a high street solicitor who is accustomed to conveyancing in Bozeat
It is highly unlikely the sellers are behind this. Should the seller desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated buyer is not the way to achieve this. Avoid the agents and go straight to the owners and make sure they understand (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you intend to use your preferred Bozeat conveyancing firm - rather thanthe ones that will earn their negotiator at the agency a referral fee or meet his conveyancing targets pre-set by senior management.
