I am about to exchange buying a property in Brighstone but as a consequence of wreckage from the recent storms I have managed to agree recompense from the current proprietors of £3k in the form of a deduction in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of a side agreement but RBS will not agree to this. Should they have been informed?

Any conveyancer being on the RBS conveyancing panel is obliged to advise RBS of any changes to the purchase price.

As a novice what is the most important advice you can impart about purchase conveyancing in Brighstone?

You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Brighstone or throughout England and Wales is an adversarial experience. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there exists an abundance of room for conflict between you and others involved in the ownership transfer. For instance, the seller, selling agent and sometimes your lender. Selecting a law firm for your conveyancing in Brighstone is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY person in the transaction whose responsibility is to look after your best interests and to protect you.

On occasion a third party with a vested interest will try and convince you that it is in your interests to do things their way. For instance, the selling agent may claim to be helping by suggesting your conveyancer is dragging his heels. Or your mortgage broker may try to convince you to do take action that is against your lawyers guidance. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the conveyancing process.

It is not a task that lawyers ordinarily organise. Where you are instructing a Brighstone conveyancing solicitor they might be willing to arrange EPC’s due to their contacts with long established local energy assessors
