We are about to complete on the purchase of a house in Formby but as a consequence of damage from the recent storms I have was able negotiate reparation from the owner in the sum of three thousand pounds by way of a deduction in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of a side agreement yet RBS will not permit this. Why were they approached?

If you were to refuse your lawyer to disclose the price change to RBS then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, RBS and you would have to appoint a new conveyancer for your conveyancing in Formby.

I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Formby. I have a mortgage offer with Santander. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Santander, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Santander conveyancing panel.
