I am about to complete on the purchase of a house in Winkleigh but as a result of wreckage from a small fire at the property I have was able negotiate reparation from the vendor of six thousand pounds taking the form of a deduction in the price. This was going to be addressed as part of a side agreement however Aldermore are not allowing this. Why were they involved?

Your solicitor being on the Aldermore conveyancing panel is obliged to advise Aldermore of any variations to the sale price. If you were to refuse your property lawyer to disclose the price change to Aldermore then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Aldermore and you would have to appoint a new property lawyer for your conveyancing in Winkleigh.

We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The lender mentioned the loan came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to instruct their panel conveyancer as I would prefer to instruct a specialised conveyancing solicitor in Winkleigh?

You should check but the the likelihood is that appoint one of their panel solicitors where you take up the "fee-free" deal. Call the mortgage company and explore if they allow a monetary alternative.

Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Winkleigh. Before diving in I would like to find out the remaining lease term.

Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and 99.9% are in Winkleigh - 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.
