I am about to complete buying a property in Winterton but as a result of wreckage from the recent storms I have was able negotiate compensation from the vendor in the sum of £3k taking the form of a reduction in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process but RBS will not agree to this. Should they have been notified?
Any conveyancing practitioner that is on a RBS approved list is duty bound to disclose to RBS of any variations to the purchase price. If you prohibit your conveyancer to report the price change to RBS then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, RBS and you would have to appoint a new lawyer for your conveyancing in Winterton.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Winterton is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can give?
Flying freeholds in Winterton are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Winterton you must be sure that your lawyer goes 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 Winterton may decide 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 property.
Should I be suspicious that brokers that I am dealing with are suggesting a web based conveyancing firm as opposed to a High Street Winterton conveyancing firm?
As with lots of service providers, often recommendations from connections can be worth their weight in gold. Nevertheless there are many players in a conveyancing matter; estate agents, financial adviser and mortgage companies may put forward lawyers to appoint. On occasion the solicitors might be known to one of the organisations as experts in their field, but occasionally there exists a commercial relationship behind the endorsement. You have the right to choose your own conveyancer. However, bear in mind that most mortgage providers specify a panel list of solicitors you have to use for the mortgage aspect of your house move.
Do I need to pop into the offices of the bank conveyancing panel solicitor to sign the mortgage deed? If so, I will instruct a firm who offer conveyancing in Winterton so that I can pop in to their offices if required.
Whereas this was necessary 12 years ago, most lenders no longer require their conveyancing panel solicitor to witness the borrowers signature. You will still be obliged to provide ID Documents and there are still distinct advantages to using a local solicitor, in your case a conveyancing solicitor in Winterton.
