Me and my partner are due to exchange buying a property in Rossett but as a result of damage from a small fire at the property I have was able negotiate reparation from the current proprietors in the sum of six thousand pounds by way of a reduction in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process yet Bank of Ireland will not permit this. Should they have been notified?
Your conveyancer that is on the Bank of Ireland approved list is duty bound to advise Bank of Ireland of any variations to the sale price. If you were to refuse your solicitor to disclose the reduction 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 conveyancing practitioner for your conveyancing in Rossett.

The mortgage over my property is with Barclays for my property in Rossett. Conveyancing has been completed a year ago. In the event that I decide to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Barclays?
Your original mortgage agreement with Barclays will provide that you need their approval prior to letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Barclays’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies 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 Barclays directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Barclays conveyancing panel solicitor.
After much negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Rossett. My financial adviser suggested a property lawyer. I paid an advanced payment of £150. Not long after, the conveyancer called me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Kent Reliance panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

Last November I purchased a leasehold property in Rossett. Am I liable to pay service charges for periods before my ownership?
Where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous owner and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. However, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. A critical element of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to be sure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).
