My wife and I are due to exchange buying a property in Ironbridge but as a result of wreckage from a small fire at the property I have managed to agree compensation from the seller in the sum of £2k taking the form of a reduction in the price. I had intended this to be addressed as part of a side agreement however Nottingham will not agree to this. Should they have been notified?
Any property lawyer being on the Nottingham conveyancing panel is obliged to inform Nottingham of any changes to the purchase price. If you were to refuse your conveyancing practitioner to notify the reduction to Nottingham then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Nottingham and you would have to appoint a new lawyer for your conveyancing in Ironbridge.

I am due to exchange contracts on my house. I had a double glazing fitted in December 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Coventry BS are being difficult. The Ironbridge solicitor who is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Coventry BS are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Coventry BS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Coventry BS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Coventry BS may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
I'm buying a new build house in Ironbridge with a loan from HSBC Bank. The builders refused to move on the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The estate agent suggested that I not disclose to my conveyancer about this extras as it will affect my loan with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder 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.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
