We are soon to complete on the purchase of a property in Stroud Green but as a result of wreckage from a small fire at the property I have managed to agree recompense from the owner of £2k taking the form of a deduction in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of a side agreement yet Skipton are not allowing this. Should they have been approached?
The property lawyer that is on the Skipton conveyancing panel is required to disclose to Skipton of any changes to the sale price. If you were to refuse your property lawyer to notify the reduction to Skipton then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Skipton and you would have to appoint a new conveyancing practitioner for your conveyancing in Stroud Green.
