Me and my partner are soon to exchange on the purchase of a property in Dartford but as a result of damage from the recent storms I have was able negotiate recompense from the seller in the sum of £2k taking the form of a adjustment in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of a side agreement however Leeds Building Society are not allowing this. Should they have been notified?
Your conveyancing practitioner being on a Leeds Building Society approved list is required to inform Leeds Building Society of any variations to the sale price. If you were to refuse your conveyancer to report the price change to Leeds Building Society then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Leeds Building Society and you would have to appoint a new property lawyer for your conveyancing in Dartford.

I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and found one round the corner in Dartford I like with a park and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 49 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Dartford suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be problematic. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you may request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.

The primary upside of using a high street Dartford conveyancing firm is that you can drop in to execute documents, hand in your ID and apply pressure on them if necessary. They will also have local insight which is a benefit. However it's more important to get someone that will do a good and efficient job. If other friends have instructed your friend and in the main were happy that must outweigh using an unknown Dartford conveyancing lawyer solely due to them being Dartford based.
