I am due to exchange buying a house in Stanstead Abbotts but as a consequence of damage from the recent storms I have was able negotiate reparation from the seller in the sum of £3k by way of a deduction in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process however Kent Reliance are not allowing this. Should they have been informed?
Any lawyer being on the Kent Reliance approved list is duty bound to disclose to Kent Reliance of any amendments to the sale price. If you were to refuse your solicitor to disclose the reduction to Kent Reliance then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Kent Reliance and you would have to appoint a new lawyer for your conveyancing in Stanstead Abbotts.

I am helping my mother sell her property in Stanstead Abbotts. Will the conveyancing solicitor order an energy performance certificate or do I organise this?
Following the abolition of Home Packs, energy performance certificates was kept a required element of moving property.

Completion of my purchase has taken place for my property in Stanstead Abbotts. Conveyancing was of an acceptable standard but I would like to complain about the lender. How do I make a complaint?
Most banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Team at head office. Ordinarily complaints to a lender are sorted out very quickly. However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service with full details of your complaint.
I am due to exchange contracts on my house. I had a double glazing fitted in May 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Virgin Money are being difficult. The Stanstead Abbotts solicitor who is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Virgin Money are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Virgin Money have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Virgin Money have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Virgin Money may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
It has been four months following my purchase conveyancing in Stanstead Abbotts concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £170,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the property from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
I am looking for a flat up to £195,000 and identified one close by in Stanstead Abbotts I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 52 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Stanstead Abbotts suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you can ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this.
