I am due to complete on the purchase of a house in Barbican but as a consequence of wreckage from the recent storms I have managed to agree compensation from the seller in the sum of £3k taking the form of a deduction in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process yet Skipton will not permit this. Why were they involved?
Any conveyancing practitioner that is on the Skipton approved list is obliged to inform Skipton of any variations to the sale price. If you prohibit your conveyancing practitioner to notify the reduction to Skipton then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Skipton and you would have to appoint a new conveyancing practitioner for your conveyancing in Barbican.
