My wife and I are soon to exchange on the purchase of a property in Bushey but as a result of damage from a small fire at the property I have managed to agree compensation from the owner in the sum of £3k taking the form of a adjustment in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of a side agreement but Coventry BS will not agree to this. Should they have been notified?
Any solicitor that is on a Coventry BS conveyancing panel is duty bound to advise Coventry BS of any changes to the purchase price. If you were to refuse your lawyer to disclose the price change 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 Bushey.
