Me and my partner are soon to complete on the purchase of a house in Malpas but as a result of wreckage from the recent storms I have was able negotiate recompense from the owner of £3k taking the form of a adjustment in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process however Principality are not allowing this. Should they have been informed?
The conveyancing practitioner that is on the Principality conveyancing panel is duty bound to disclose to Principality of any changes to the purchase price. If you prohibit your conveyancing practitioner to report the reduction to Principality then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Principality and you would have to appoint a new solicitor for your conveyancing in Malpas.

That being said, the lender approved solicitors we recommend offer a nationwide conveyancing service and provide just as diligent and professional a job for you when communicating with you by post or email.

My aunt passed away six months ago and as sole heir and executor I was left the house in Malpas. The house had a small mortgage left on it of around £5k. I want to transfer the title deeds into my name whilst I re-mortgage to HSBC, pay off the mortgage. Is this allowed?
Where you intend to re-mortgage then HSBC will require that you use a conveyancer on the HSBC conveyancing panel. Here is link to the Land Registry online guidance around what to do when a property owner dies. This will help you to understand the registration process behind changing the details re the registered title. in your case it would appear that you are effectively purchasing the property from the estate. Your HSBC conveyancing panel solicitor pays the new mortgage money into the estate, the estate pays off the old mortgage, the charge is released and you become the owner and the HSBC mortgage is registered as a charge at the Land Registry.
I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and found one close by in Malpas I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, however it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Malpas for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
Should you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be an issue. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you could request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this.
