We went with a local lawyer for my conveyancing in Stanstead Abbotts last week. After carefully reading the Ts and Cs I seewe are responsible for costs even if the dealfalls through.

We are due to complete buying a property in Stanstead Abbotts but as a result of damage from some water damage at the property I have managed to agree compensation from the vendor in the sum of £2k taking the form of a reduction in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of amending the contract however Nottingham are not allowing this. Why were they approached?
Your conveyancer being on a Nottingham conveyancing panel is required to advise Nottingham of any variations to the purchase price. If you prohibit your conveyancer to report the price change to Nottingham then they would have to discontinue acting for you.
