Me and my partner are soon to complete buying a house in Llantwit Major but as a consequence of wreckage from a small fire at the property I have managed to agree recompense from the owner of £2k by way of a adjustment in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of a side agreement yet Bank of Ireland will not permit this. Should they have been involved?
Any property lawyer being on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel is required to advise Bank of Ireland of any variations to the purchase price. If you were to refuse your conveyancing practitioner to report 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 property lawyer for your conveyancing in Llantwit Major.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £305k and found one close by in Llantwit Major I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 61 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Llantwit Major in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
Should you need a home loan that many years will likely be problematic. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you can request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
