This was going to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process but TSB are not allowing this. Why were they informed?
Your property lawyer that is on a TSB conveyancing panel is obliged to inform TSB of any amendments to the sale price.

Not many law firms or advisers will tell you this but conveyancing in Ilford and elsewhere in Essex is an adversarial process. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there exists an abundance of opportunity for confrontation between you and other parties involved in the ownership transfer. E.g., the seller, selling agent and even potentially a mortgage company. Appointing a solicitor for your conveyancing in Ilford should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY person in the transaction whose interest is to protect your best interests and to keep you safe.
Every so often a third party with a vested interest will attempt to persuade you that you should follow their advice. As an example, the estate agent may claim to be assisting by suggesting your lawyer is dragging his heels. Or your mortgage broker may try to convince you to do something that is against your lawyers advice. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the conveyancing process.

I've recently bought a leasehold house in Ilford. Am I liable to pay service charges relating to a period prior to my ownership?
In a situation where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous lessee 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. A critical element of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to be sure 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).
