Me and my partner are soon to exchange on the purchase of a house in Dolwyddelan but as a consequence of wreckage from the recent storms I have managed to agree recompense from the seller in the sum of six thousand pounds taking the form of a adjustment in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of a side agreement yet Nationwide are not allowing this. Why were they involved?

I note that there are debates on Chancel Insurance on online forums.

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and found one round the corner in Dolwyddelan I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 51 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Dolwyddelan in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will be an issue. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you could request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
