We are about to complete on the purchase of a house in Llanfairfechan but as a consequence of wreckage from the recent storms I have was able negotiate reparation from the seller in the sum of £3k in the form of a adjustment in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process yet Bank of Ireland are not allowing this. Should they have been involved?
Your conveyancer that is on the Bank of Ireland approved list is duty bound to inform Bank of Ireland of any changes to the sale price. If you prohibit your conveyancer to disclose the reduction 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 Llanfairfechan.

Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unexperienced as FTB of a ground floor flat in Llanfairfechan. Do I pick up the keys to the property on the completion date from my solicitor? If this is the case, I will instruct a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Llanfairfechan?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will electronically transfer the purchase money to the owner’s lawyers, and once they have received this, you will be able to collect the keys from the selling Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this happens early afternoon.
I am purchasing a property in Llanfairfechan. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Leeds Building Society have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
As your lender is Leeds Building Society your lawyer must check the conveyancing requirements contained in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Leeds Building Society. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook contains minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to Leeds Building Society where a lease does not comply with these provisions. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not limited to Llanfairfechan.
I am looking for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and identified one close by in Llanfairfechan I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, however it's only got 51 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Llanfairfechan for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
If you require a mortgage that many years will likely be an issue. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
