My wife and I are soon to exchange on the purchase of a property in Whalley Range but as a result of wreckage from the recent storms I have managed to agree reparation from the vendor of six thousand pounds taking the form of a adjustment in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of a side agreement however Bank of Ireland will not agree to this. Should they have been approached?
Any solicitor being on a Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel is duty bound to advise Bank of Ireland of any variations to the sale price.

I have a mortgage with Yorkshire BS for my property in Whalley Range. Conveyancing has been completed a year ago. If I am intending to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Yorkshire BS?
Your original mortgage agreement with Yorkshire BS will provide that you need their approval before renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Yorkshire BS’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Yorkshire BS will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Yorkshire BS directly. You need not do this via a Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel firm.
I recently had an offer accepted on a house in Whalley Range. My mortgage broker suggested a conveyancing practitioner. I paid an advanced payment of £175.
