We are soon to exchange buying a property in Cranford but as a consequence of wreckage from the recent storms I have managed to agree reparation from the seller of £3k in the form of a adjustment in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of a side agreement yet TSB are not allowing this. Should they have been informed?
Your property lawyer being on the TSB conveyancing panel is duty bound to inform TSB of any changes to the sale price. If you prohibit your conveyancing practitioner to report the price change to TSB then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, TSB and you would have to appoint a new solicitor for your conveyancing in Cranford.
