My wife and I are soon to complete buying a property in Hay On Wye but as a consequence of damage from a small fire at the property I have managed to agree reparation from the current proprietors of six thousand pounds in the form of a deduction in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of a side agreement but RBS are not allowing this. Why were they informed?

If you were to refuse your property lawyer to disclose the price change to RBS then they would have to discontinue acting for you.
