Me and my partner are soon to exchange on the purchase of a property in Tarporley but as a result of damage from a small fire at the property I have was able negotiate compensation from the owner in the sum of six thousand pounds taking the form of a reduction in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of amending the contract yet Coventry BS are not allowing this. Should they have been approached?

If you were to refuse your conveyancing practitioner to notify the reduction to Coventry BS then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Coventry BS and you would have to appoint a new solicitor for your conveyancing in Tarporley.
