My wife and I are soon to exchange on the purchase of a property in Alvechurch but as a consequence of wreckage from a small fire at the property I have was able negotiate recompense from the current proprietors in the sum of £3k taking the form of a deduction in the price. I had intended this to be addressed as part of a side agreement but HSBC are not allowing this. Should they have been approached?
Any solicitor that is on the HSBC approved list is required to disclose to HSBC of any variations to the sale price. If you prohibit your lawyer to notify the price change to HSBC then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, HSBC and you would have to appoint a new lawyer for your conveyancing in Alvechurch.
