Me and my partner are soon to exchange on the purchase of a house in Harmondsworth but as a result of damage from the recent storms I have managed to agree recompense from the current proprietors in the sum of three thousand pounds in the form of a adjustment in the price. This was going to be addressed as part of the conveyancing process yet TSB will not permit this. Should they have been notified?
Your conveyancer that is on the TSB approved list is obliged to advise TSB of any variations to the sale price. If you were to refuse your solicitor to report the reduction to TSB then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, TSB and you would have to appoint a new conveyancing practitioner for your conveyancing in Harmondsworth.
We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The bank mentioned the mortgage came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to use their panel conveyancer as I would much rather use a Harmondsworth based conveyancing firm?
Do check but the chances are that appoint one of their panel conveyancers should you want the "fee-free" incentive. Speak to the lender and see if they allow a cash alternative. Some banks have previously offered a £250 cashback as a further option in which case that money can go towards the cost for your conveyancing solicitor near Harmondsworth.
