My wife and I are due to complete buying a house in Holme On Spalding Moor but as a result of damage from the recent storms I have managed to agree compensation from the vendor in the sum of £2k by way of a adjustment in the price. This was going to be addressed as part of a side agreement but Bank of Ireland will not agree to this. Why were they approached?
The property lawyer being on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel is required to advise Bank of Ireland of any variations to the sale price. If you prohibit your conveyancing practitioner to notify the price change to Bank of Ireland then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Bank of Ireland and you would have to appoint a new conveyancer for your conveyancing in Holme On Spalding Moor.
My home in Holme On Spalding Moor is up for sale and I have a purchaser. Will my solicitor have to be on the RBS conveyancing panel in order to deal with redeeming my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the RBS conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their conditions fairly frequently at the moment.

I've recently bought a leasehold house in Holme On Spalding Moor. Am I liable to pay service charges for periods before completion of my purchase?
Where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous owner and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. Strange as it may seem, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. It is an essential part of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to ensure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).
