I am about to complete buying a property in Bracknell but as a consequence of damage from the recent storms I have was able negotiate reparation from the current proprietors of £3k by way of a reduction in the price. This was going to be addressed as part of a side agreement yet Yorkshire BS will not permit this. Why were they involved?
Your conveyancing practitioner that is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel is obliged to disclose to Yorkshire BS of any variations to the purchase price. If you prohibit your property lawyer to report the reduction to Yorkshire BS then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Yorkshire BS and you would have to appoint a new lawyer for your conveyancing in Bracknell.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Bracknell is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can give?
Flying freeholds in Bracknell are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Bracknell you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Bracknell 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.
My husband and I are FTB’s - agreed a price, yet the estate agent has warned us that the vendor will only proceed if we use their preferred lawyers as they need an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a local conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Bracknell
