We are soon to exchange buying a house in Soham but as a consequence of wreckage from a small fire at the property I have managed to agree compensation from the owner in the sum of £3k taking the form of a deduction in the price.

Your solicitor that is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel is obliged to disclose to Yorkshire BS of any amendments to the purchase price. If you prohibit your conveyancer to notify the reduction to Yorkshire BS then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Yorkshire BS and you would have to appoint a new solicitor for your conveyancing in Soham.
