We are soon to exchange on the purchase of a property in Hinton St George but as a consequence of wreckage from the recent storms I have managed to agree recompense from the current proprietors of three thousand pounds taking the form of a adjustment in the price. This was going to be addressed as part of a side agreement but Co-operative will not agree to this. Why were they notified?
Your property lawyer that is on the Co-operative approved list is duty bound to inform Co-operative of any amendments to the sale price. If you were to refuse your lawyer to report the price change to Co-operative then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Co-operative and you would have to appoint a new lawyer for your conveyancing in Hinton St George.

four months have elapsed since my purchase conveyancing in Hinton St George completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £170,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the property from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
I am purchasing my first flat in Hinton St George with the aid of help to buy. The developers refused to reduce the price so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The sale representative advised me not inform my lawyer about the side-deal as it may jeopardize my mortgage with the bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
