We are soon to complete buying a property in Esher but as a consequence of wreckage from the recent storms I have was able negotiate reparation from the seller of £2k taking the form of a deduction in the price. I had intended this to be addressed as part of amending the contract but Kent Reliance will not agree to this. Should they have been notified?
Any conveyancing practitioner being on a Kent Reliance approved list is duty bound to inform Kent Reliance of any variations to the sale price. If you prohibit your property lawyer to notify the price change to Kent Reliance then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Kent Reliance and you would have to appoint a new conveyancer for your conveyancing in Esher.

I'm purchasing a new build house in Esher benefiting from help to buy. The sellers would not reduce the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The estate agent suggested that I not reveal to my conveyancer about this deal as it may impact my loan with Leeds Building Society. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
Due to the advice of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Esher ahead of retaining solicitors. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold element to the house. The surveyor has said that some banks may not give a loan on such a house.

If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Esher. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.
I am hoping to put an offer on a small detached house that appears to be perfect, at a great figure which is making it all the more appealing. I have subsequently found out that it's a leasehold as opposed to freehold. I am assuming that there are particular concerns purchasing a leasehold house in Esher. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been appointed. Will they explain the issues?
Most houses in Esher are freehold and not leasehold. This is one of the situations where having a local conveyancer used to dealing with such properties who can help the conveyancing process. it is apparent that you are purchasing in Esher in which case you should be looking for a Esher conveyancing solicitor and check that they have experience in dealing with leasehold houses. First you will need to check the number of years remaining. Being a leaseholder you will not be at liberty to do whatever you want with the house. The lease comes with conditions such as requiring the landlord’spermission to carry out changes to the property. You may also be required to pay a service charge towards the upkeep of the estate where the property is part of an estate. Your solicitor should report to you on the legal implications.
