My wife and I are about to exchange buying a property in Tulse Hill but as a result of damage from a small fire at the property I have managed to agree compensation from the seller in the sum of three thousand pounds by way of a adjustment in the price. I had intended this to be addressed as part of amending the contract but RBS are not allowing this. Why were they approached?
The solicitor being on the RBS conveyancing panel is required to advise RBS of any changes to the purchase price. If you were to refuse your conveyancing practitioner to report the reduction to RBS then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, RBS and you would have to appoint a new conveyancer for your conveyancing in Tulse Hill.

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Tulse Hill. Before I get started I require certainty as to the number of years remaining on the lease.
Assuming the lease is registered - and almost all are in Tulse Hill - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
