I am about to complete buying a property in Brockenhurst but as a result of damage from the recent storms I have managed to agree compensation from the seller of £2k by way of a deduction in the price. I had intended this to be addressed as part of amending the contract yet Coventry BS will not permit this. Why were they approached?
The solicitor that is on a Coventry BS conveyancing panel is obliged to advise Coventry BS of any variations to the sale price. If you prohibit your property lawyer to notify the price change to Coventry BS then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Coventry BS and you would have to appoint a new conveyancing practitioner for your conveyancing in Brockenhurst.
