My wife and I are soon to complete on the purchase of a house in Ilkeston but as a consequence of damage from a small fire at the property I have was able negotiate compensation from the current proprietors of £3k taking the form of a reduction in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of a side agreement but RBS will not agree to this. Why were they notified?
Your conveyancer that is on a RBS approved list is required to disclose to RBS of any changes to the sale price. If you prohibit 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 lawyer for your conveyancing in Ilkeston.

I'm the sole beneficiary of my late mum's will with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Ilkeston. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in June. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a CML 6 month 'rule', which means that my property ownership could be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the property in June. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook instructs solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you might be caught by that. How practical a view banks take of it, depend on the lender as this clause chiefly exists to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of property.

Last March I purchased a leasehold property in Ilkeston. Do I have any liability for service charges relating to a period prior to completion of my purchase?
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. However, 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 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).
