My wife and I are about to complete buying a property in Llanarmon Yn Ial but as a result of wreckage from the recent storms I have managed to agree recompense 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 but TSB will not agree to this. Why were they involved?
The conveyancing practitioner being on a TSB conveyancing panel is required to disclose to TSB of any amendments to the sale price. If you prohibit your conveyancing practitioner to report the reduction to TSB then they would have to discontinue acting for you.
