My wife and I are soon to exchange buying a property in Admaston but as a consequence of wreckage from a small fire at the property I have managed to agree compensation from the owner of £3k by way of a reduction in the price. I had intended this to be addressed as part of a side agreement yet Virgin Money are not allowing this. Should they have been approached?
Your solicitor that is on the Virgin Money approved list is obliged to disclose to Virgin Money of any amendments to the sale price. If you were to refuse your conveyancer to report the price change to Virgin Money then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Virgin Money and you would have to appoint a new lawyer for your conveyancing in Admaston.
