Me and my partner are due to exchange on the purchase of a house in Borth and Talybont but as a consequence of damage from the recent storms I have managed to agree reparation from the vendor in the sum of £3k by way of a deduction in the price.

Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
