I am soon to complete on the purchase of a house in Caernarfon but as a consequence of damage from the recent storms I have managed to agree recompense from the current proprietors of three thousand pounds taking the form of a adjustment in the price. This was going to be addressed as part of amending the contract but Leeds Building Society are not allowing this. Should they have been approached?
Any conveyancer being on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel is duty bound to disclose to Leeds Building Society of any amendments to the purchase price. If you were to refuse your solicitor to report the reduction to Leeds Building Society then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Leeds Building Society and you would have to appoint a new conveyancer for your conveyancing in Caernarfon.

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one round the corner in Caernarfon I like with amenity areas and station nearby, however it's only got 51 years on the lease. There is not much else in Caernarfon in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you need a home loan that many years may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you could ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
