I am due to complete on the purchase of a house in Crofton but as a consequence of wreckage from the recent storms I have managed to agree reparation from the seller in the sum of £3k by way of a adjustment in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of amending the contract but Bank of Ireland will not agree to this. Should they have been approached?
The conveyancer that is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel is obliged to disclose to Bank of Ireland of any changes to the purchase price. If you prohibit your solicitor to report the price change 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 Crofton.

I can not fathom if my bank obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have telephoned my Crofton bank branch on numerous occasions and was told it does not impact the mortgage offer and they would lend. My Crofton conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they would not lend in accordance with their published requirements. Who do I believe?
As long as the lawyer is on the lender approved list, she or he must adhere to the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook conditions for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.

Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes on average a week to receive the mortgage offer. RBS will send the offer to you and your conveyancers. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Crofton.
