My wife and I are soon to exchange buying a property in East Beckton but as a consequence of damage from a small fire at the property I have was able negotiate reparation from the owner in the sum of £3k taking the form of a reduction in the price. I had intended this to be addressed as part of the conveyancing process however RBS will not agree to this. Should they have been informed?

Any property lawyer that is on a RBS conveyancing panel is duty bound to disclose to RBS of any amendments to the sale price. If you were to refuse your property lawyer to report the reduction to RBS then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, RBS and you would have to appoint a new solicitor for your conveyancing in East Beckton.
