Me and my partner are soon to complete buying a property in Morpeth but as a result of wreckage from a small fire at the property I have managed to agree recompense from the seller in the sum of £2k taking the form of a deduction in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of amending the contract yet TSB are not allowing this. Why were they notified?
Any lawyer that is on a TSB conveyancing panel is required to advise TSB of any changes to the purchase price.

Do you have any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Morpeth with the aim of saving time on the sale process?
- A significant proportion of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Morpeth can be reduced where you instruct lawyers as soon as your agents start advertising the property and request that they start to put together the leasehold information which will be required by the buyers’ lawyers. Some Morpeth leases require Landlord’s consent to the sale and approval of the buyers. If this applies to your lease, you should notify your estate agents to make sure that the purchasers obtain financial (bank) and professional references. Any bank reference should make it clear that the buyer is financially capable of paying the yearly service charge and the actual amount of the service charge should be quoted in the bank’s letter. You will therefore need to provide your estate agents with the actual amount of the service charge so that they can pass this information on to the purchasers or their solicitors. You believe that you know the number of years remaining on your lease but it would be wise to verify this by asking your solicitors. A buyer’s conveyancer will be unlikely to recommend their client to to exchange contracts if the remaining number of years is less than 80 years. It is therefore essential at an as soon as possible that you consider whether the lease term for your property needs extending. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your property on the market for sale. If there is a history of conflict with your freeholder or managing agents it is very important that these are settled prior to the flat being put on the market. The buyers and their solicitors will be warry about purchasing a property where a dispute is ongoing. You will have to accept that you will have to discharge any arrears of service charge or settle the dispute prior to completion of the sale. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled ahead of the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You are still duty bound to disclose details of the dispute to the buyers, but it is better to reveal the dispute as historic as opposed to ongoing.
