Me and my partner are about to exchange on the purchase of a house in Arley but as a consequence of damage from some water damage at the property I have managed to agree reparation from the seller in the sum of £3k by way of a adjustment in the price. I had intended this to be addressed as part of amending the contract however Nottingham are not allowing this. Why were they involved?
The property lawyer that is on the Nottingham approved list is duty bound to advise Nottingham of any changes to the sale price. If you were to refuse your lawyer to disclose the price change to Nottingham then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Nottingham and you would have to appoint a new lawyer for your conveyancing in Arley.

My wife and I are in the throws of looking at houses in Arley and I am now considering a potential offer. Is it wise to have my conveyancer on ‘stand by’? I am planning to take a mortgage with Principality.
It would be advisable to instigate your search sooner rather than later.

I can not fathom if my mortgage offer obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called into my local Arley building society branch on numerous occasions and was informed it wasn't an issue and they would lend. My Arley conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- called to say that they would not lend in accordance with their published requirements. Who do I believe?
The property lawyer has to follow the CML Handbook Part 2 provisions for your lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.

You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
