Me and my partner are due to exchange buying a house in Northwood but as a consequence of wreckage from some water damage at the property I have managed to agree compensation from the vendor of £3k in the form of a adjustment in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of amending the contract but Nationwide will not permit this. Should they have been involved?
The lawyer that is on a Nationwide approved list is required to inform Nationwide of any variations to the purchase price. If you were to refuse your conveyancer to notify the price change to Nationwide then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Nationwide and you would have to appoint a new lawyer for your conveyancing in Northwood.
What is the first thing I need to know concerning purchase conveyancing in Northwood?
Not many law firms shout this from the rooftops but conveyancing in Northwood or throughout West London is an adversarial process. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there exists lots of room for confrontation between you and other parties involved in the transaction. For instance, the vendor, selling agent and sometimes a lender. Selecting a law firm for your conveyancing in Northwood is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY party in the legal process whose interest is to protect your legal interests and to keep you safe.
There is a distinct increase of a "blame" culture- someone has to be at fault for the process taking so long. You your first instinct should be to trust your conveyancer ahead of the other players when it comes to the legal transfer of property.
