My wife and I are about to complete buying a house in Rottingdean but as a result of damage from the recent storms I have was able negotiate reparation from the current proprietors in the sum of £3k taking the form of a deduction in the price. This was going to be addressed as part of the conveyancing process however Coventry BS are not allowing this. Why were they notified?
The property lawyer that is on a Coventry BS approved list is required to advise Coventry BS of any variations to the sale price. If you prohibit your solicitor to report the reduction to Coventry BS then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Coventry BS and you would have to appoint a new conveyancing practitioner for your conveyancing in Rottingdean.

three months have elapsed since my purchase conveyancing in Rottingdean took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the property from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Rottingdean I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Rottingdean in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage that many years may be problematic. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this.
