My wife and I are about to exchange buying a property in Eccles but as a consequence of damage from some water damage at the property I have managed to agree reparation from the seller of £2k in the form of a deduction in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process however Co-operative will not permit this. Why were they notified?
The conveyancing practitioner being on the Co-operative conveyancing panel is duty bound to advise Co-operative of any changes to the sale price. If you were to refuse your property lawyer to notify the price change to Co-operative then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Co-operative and you would have to appoint a new lawyer for your conveyancing in Eccles.

My partner and I have arranged a further advance on our mortgage from Aldermore as we wish to conduct improvements to our house in Eccles. Do we need to choose a high street Eccles solicitor on the Aldermore conveyancing panel to handle the paperwork?
Aldermore don't usually appoint a member of their conveyancing panel to deal with such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Aldermore panel.
I can not work out if my mortgage offer requires a lease extension. I have called my Eccles building society branch on a couple of occasions and was reassured it wasn't a problem and they will lend. My Eccles conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they would not lend based on their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. Who do I believe?
The property lawyer has to follow the CML Handbook section two conditions for your lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender 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 left on the lease.
