We are about to exchange on the purchase of a property in Cilcain but as a consequence of damage from the recent storms I have was able negotiate recompense from the seller in the sum of £3k by way of a adjustment in the price. This was going to be addressed as part of a side agreement yet Co-operative will not permit this. Why were they approached?
Your property lawyer being on the Co-operative conveyancing panel is obliged to disclose to Co-operative of any amendments to the sale price. If you prohibit your conveyancer to notify the price change to Co-operative then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Co-operative and you would have to appoint a new property lawyer for your conveyancing in Cilcain.
Do I need to pop into the offices of the solicitor to sign the legal charge? If so, I will choose one who does conveyancing in Cilcain so that I can attend their offices when needed.
These days approved lawyers for mortgage companies conduct all of the communications through the post, internet or over the phone. This means that they can undertake the conveyancing transaction regardless of where you live in England or Wales. That being said you can see if you can still book an appointment to visit conveyancing lawyer if just in case this is required.

We had instructed solicitors with offices in Cilcain on the UBS solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a supplemental amount for dealing with the UBS mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by UBS?
Provided it is contained in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your property lawyer may charge a fee for this. This charge is not set by UBS but by your Cilcain solicitor. Plenty of firms on the UBS panel will levy ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but plenty of practices include it on their overall fee.
My sealed bid on a semi in Cilcain has been accepted, but there is a chain. The owners have offered on somewhere, but it’s not yet tied up, and have viewings of other flats booked. I have chosen a local conveyancing solicitor in Cilcain. What do I do now? When should I get the mortgage application with Nottingham going?
It is normal to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs too early (mortgage application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then survey, Cilcain conveyancing search fees, etc). The first course of action is to ensure that your lawyer is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. As to the subsequent steps this very much dictated by the specifics of your case, motivation for this property and on the state of the market. In a hot market many purchasers would apply for the mortgage with Nottingham and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they request their lawyer to press on with the conveyancing in Cilcain.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £195,000 and found one close by in Cilcain I like with a park and railway links nearby, however it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Cilcain for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be a potential deal breaker. 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 2 years you may request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
