Me and my partner are soon to exchange buying a house in Saundersfoot but as a result of damage from the recent storms I have was able negotiate recompense from the owner in the sum of three thousand pounds taking the form of a adjustment in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of a side agreement but Yorkshire BS will not agree to this. Should they have been approached?

Any conveyancing practitioner being on the Yorkshire BS approved list is required to disclose to Yorkshire BS of any variations to the sale price. If you were to refuse your property lawyer to notify the price change to Yorkshire BS then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Yorkshire BS and you would have to appoint a new conveyancer for your conveyancing in Saundersfoot.

Are the BSA planning on creating a online directory to list practices on the Earl Shilton BS conveyancing panel for example in Saundersfoot?

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one close by in Saundersfoot I like with a park and station nearby, the downside is that it's only got 51 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Saundersfoot suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?

Should you require a mortgage that many years may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you.
