My wife and I are soon to complete buying a house in Hull but as a result of wreckage from some water damage at the property I have was able negotiate recompense from the seller of three thousand pounds taking the form of a adjustment in the price. I had intended this to be addressed as part of the conveyancing process yet Virgin Money will not agree to this. Should they have been notified?

The solicitor being on a Virgin Money approved list is required to disclose to Virgin Money of any changes to the purchase price. If you were to refuse your conveyancer to report the reduction to Virgin Money then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Virgin Money and you would have to appoint a new conveyancing practitioner for your conveyancing in Hull.
