Me and my partner are due to exchange on the purchase of a house in Lytham but as a consequence of damage from the recent storms I have was able negotiate reparation from the vendor of £3k in the form of a adjustment in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of a side agreement but Virgin Money will not permit this. Should they have been informed?
Your conveyancer being on the Virgin Money approved list is duty bound to advise Virgin Money of any amendments to the sale price. If you were to refuse your solicitor to report the price change to Virgin Money then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Virgin Money and you would have to appoint a new conveyancing practitioner for your conveyancing in Lytham.

Is there a reason that Lytham conveyancing charges are higher for leasehold and freehold properties?
Inevitably there is increased work involved for leasehold conveyancing. Lytham has many leasehold properties. There is more paperwork involved in the purchase: for example, the lease and leasehold information (including up to date service charge, ground rent and buildings insurance details) obtained from the freeholder or managing agents. There are strict criteria that the lease must meet in order to be acceptable to a mortgage company. If it does not meet these requirements, the lease must be amended, which can involve additional expense for the seller.
