I am due to complete on the purchase of a property in Tilbury but as a consequence of damage from the recent storms I have was able negotiate compensation from the vendor of £2k by way of a deduction in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of amending the contract but Aldermore will not permit this. Why were they informed?
Your lawyer being on a Aldermore conveyancing panel is duty bound to disclose to Aldermore of any amendments to the purchase price. If you prohibit your lawyer to disclose the price change to Aldermore then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Aldermore and you would have to appoint a new lawyer for your conveyancing in Tilbury.
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am wet behind the ears as FTB of a ground floor flat in Tilbury. Do I collect the keys to the premises on the completion date from my conveyancer? If this is the case, I will find a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Tilbury?
On the day of completion you do not need to go to the conveyancers office in Tilbury. Conveyancing lawyers for you will electronically transfer the completion advance to the seller's lawyers, and once they have received this, you should be able to pick up the keys from the Estate Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen early afternoon.

If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign 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 concerning this matter.
