My wife and I are soon to complete on the purchase of a house in Little Burstead but as a result of damage from the recent storms I have was able negotiate compensation from the vendor in the sum of six thousand pounds by way of a reduction in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process yet RBS are not allowing this. Should they have been involved?
