I am soon to complete on the purchase of a property in Haslington but as a consequence of wreckage from some water damage at the property I have was able negotiate reparation from the current proprietors in the sum of six thousand pounds taking the form of a adjustment in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process yet Skipton will not agree to this. Why were they approached?
Your property lawyer that is on a Skipton approved list is duty bound to disclose to Skipton of any amendments to the sale price. If you prohibit your lawyer to report the reduction to Skipton then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Skipton and you would have to appoint a new solicitor for your conveyancing in Haslington.

We're novice buyers - had an offer accepted, but the agent told us that the vendor will only move forward if we use the agent's preferred conveyancers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a local solicitor who is accustomed to conveyancing in Haslington
We suspect that the seller is not behind this requirement. Should the seller desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated purchaser is likely to cause more damage than good. Contact the owners directly and explain that (a)you are serious purchasers (b)you are ready to go, with finances in place © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you intend to instruct your preferred Haslington conveyancing firm - rather thanthe ones that will earn the negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or hit his conveyancing thresholds set by corporate headquarters.
I am intending to sublet my leasehold flat in Haslington. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask her. Is permission from the freeholder required?
Some leases for properties in Haslington do contain a provision to say that subletting is only permitted with prior consent from the landlord. The landlord is not entitled to unreasonably withhold but, in such cases, they would need to review references. Experience dictates that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting consent.
