We are due to exchange buying a property in Brent Park but as a consequence of wreckage from a small fire at the property I have was able negotiate reparation from the owner of £2k taking the form of a adjustment in the price. I had intended this to be addressed as part of the conveyancing process yet Skipton will not permit this. Should they have been approached?
Any conveyancer that is on the Skipton approved list is obliged to advise Skipton of any variations to the purchase price. If you were to refuse your conveyancer 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 Brent Park.

My wife and I are selling our home in Brent Park and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. A high street Brent Park conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers instructed a factory type conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Brent Park. Having lived in Brent Park for 4 years we know that this is a non issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to obtain confirmation need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. What do they say? You must check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same sickness)
