My wife and I are about to complete on the purchase of a house in Castle Vale but as a consequence of wreckage from the recent storms I have was able negotiate reparation from the vendor in the sum of £2k taking the form of a reduction in the price. This was going to be addressed as part of the conveyancing process however Santander will not permit this. Why were they notified?
Any conveyancer that is on the Santander approved list is obliged to advise Santander of any amendments to the sale price. If you were to refuse your property lawyer to disclose the reduction to Santander then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Santander and you would have to appoint a new solicitor for your conveyancing in Castle Vale.

I am assisting my aunt sell her house in Castle Vale. Will the conveyancing solicitor order an EPC or do I organise this?
After the demise of Home Information Packs, energy assessments remained a mandatory element of selling a house. An energy performance certificate must be to hand prior to the property being marketed. This is not as aspect of the sale process that lawyers ordinarily organise. If you are instructing a Castle Vale conveyancing lawyer they might be able to arrange energy performance certificates due to their relationships with long established Castle Vale assessors

Santander have agreed my home loan in principle, my offer on a property in Castle Vale has been accepted, what are the next steps?
Your estate agent will need to know who your solicitors are (be sure the lawyers are on the bank’s approved list). Call up Santander or the broker and finalise any relevant forms. Santander will appoint a valuer who will get in contact with the estate agent or owners to arrange a time for the valuation to take place. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes on average a fortnight to receive the mortgage offer. Santander will issue the offer to you and your conveyancers. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Castle Vale.
I have been on the look out for a flat up to £245,000 and found one close by in Castle Vale I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Castle Vale in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
Should you require a home loan the shortness of the lease may be an issue. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you may ask them to 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 solicitor concerning this matter.
