We are about to exchange on the purchase of a house in North Kensington but as a result of damage from some water damage at the property I have managed to agree compensation from the current proprietors of £2k by way of a deduction in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process yet Leeds Building Society will not agree to this. Should they have been informed?
Any lawyer being on the Leeds Building Society approved list is duty bound to advise Leeds Building Society of any changes to the sale price. If you were to refuse your solicitor to notify the reduction to Leeds Building Society then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Leeds Building Society and you would have to appoint a new conveyancer for your conveyancing in North Kensington.

We are a listing service only for law firms wishing to communicate if they are on the TSB conveyancing panel or other lender panels. We do not charge referral fees to any conveyancer that you subsequently appoint for your conveyancing in North Kensington.

We're FTB’s - had an offer accepted, yet the estate agent has warned us that the seller will only proceed if we use their chosen lawyers as they want a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a family conveyancer who is accustomed to conveyancing in North Kensington
We suspect that the seller is not behind this requirement. If they require ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious purchaser is likely to cause more damage than good. Speak to the vendors direct and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you will continue to instruct your own,trusted North Kensington conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will earn the negotiator at the agency a kickback or achieve conveyancing thresholds pre-set by corporate headquarters.
