Me and my partner are about to exchange on the purchase of a property in Kenton but as a result of damage 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. This was going to be dealt with as part of amending the contract but Kent Reliance are not allowing this. Should they have been approached?
The conveyancing practitioner being on the Kent Reliance approved list is required to inform Kent Reliance of any amendments to the sale price. If you prohibit your conveyancer to disclose the reduction to Kent Reliance then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Kent Reliance and you would have to appoint a new solicitor for your conveyancing in Kenton.

Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Nottingham. Kenton conveyancing lawyers have been instructed. How long does it take for Nottingham to forward the offer to the conveyancer?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Nottingham conducted the valuation? Have you informed Nottingham as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Nottingham conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
I was told three weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Bank of Ireland. Is it usual for Bank of Ireland to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Kenton is approved on their conveyancing panel? Bank of Ireland have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.
A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Bank of Ireland to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
I am downsizing from our house in Kenton and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. A local lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers used a national conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Kenton. We have lived in Kenton for many years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to obtain clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. What do they say? You must check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same illness)
