My wife and I are about to complete buying a property in Mablethorpe but as a result of damage from a small fire at the property I have managed to agree reparation from the owner of £2k by way of a reduction in the price. This was going to be addressed as part of a side agreement but are not allowing this. Should they have been informed?

How does conveyancing in Mablethorpe differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Mablethorpe approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is finished. This is because house builders in Mablethorpe tend to acquire the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Mablethorpe or who has acted in the same development.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Mablethorpe is the location of the property. Is there any guidance you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Mablethorpe are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Mablethorpe you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Mablethorpe 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 residence.
