My wife and I are about to complete buying a property in Llanrwst but as a consequence of damage from a small fire at the property I have managed to agree compensation from the current proprietors in the sum of £3k by way of a deduction in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process however Bank of Ireland are not allowing this. Why were they notified?
The conveyancing practitioner being on the Bank of Ireland approved list is duty bound to advise Bank of Ireland of any variations to the purchase price. If you were to refuse your conveyancing practitioner to report the price change to Bank of Ireland then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Bank of Ireland and you would have to appoint a new conveyancing practitioner for your conveyancing in Llanrwst.
