Me and my partner are soon to exchange buying a property in Coven but as a result of damage from the recent storms I have managed to agree recompense from the seller in the sum of £3k taking the form of a deduction in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process but Nationwide will not agree to this. Should they have been approached?
Your conveyancing practitioner being on the Nationwide conveyancing panel is obliged to advise Nationwide of any amendments to the purchase price. If you were to refuse your conveyancing practitioner to report the reduction to Nationwide then they would have to discontinue acting for you.
