I am due to exchange on the purchase of a property in Upney but as a result of damage from the recent storms I have was able negotiate compensation from the seller in the sum of £2k by way of a reduction in the price. I had intended this to be addressed as part of the conveyancing process however HSBC will not permit this. Why were they notified?
Any lawyer that is on the HSBC conveyancing panel is required to advise HSBC of any amendments to the purchase price. If you prohibit your conveyancer to notify the reduction to HSBC then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, HSBC and you would have to appoint a new lawyer for your conveyancing in Upney.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Upney is the location of the property. Can you offer any advice?

Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Upney you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Upney may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
