My wife and I are due to exchange on the purchase of a house in Keyworth but as a result of wreckage from the recent storms I have was able negotiate reparation from the owner in the sum of £2k taking the form of a reduction in the price. This was going to be addressed as part of the conveyancing process however Kent Reliance are not allowing this. Why were they approached?
Your lawyer being on a Kent Reliance approved list is obliged to advise Kent Reliance of any amendments to the purchase price. If you were to refuse your conveyancing practitioner to notify the reduction to Kent Reliance then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Kent Reliance and you would have to appoint a new property lawyer for your conveyancing in Keyworth.
