We are about to exchange buying a property in Cann Hall but as a result of damage from the recent storms I have managed to agree recompense from the vendor of three thousand pounds taking the form of a adjustment in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of amending the contract however Lloyds will not agree to this. Why were they approached?
Your lawyer being on a Lloyds conveyancing panel is duty bound to inform Lloyds of any variations to the sale price. If you were to refuse your conveyancer to report the price change to Lloyds then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Lloyds and you would have to appoint a new conveyancer for your conveyancing in Cann Hall.

I have a decision in principle. The lender mentioned the home loan came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to appoint their panel solicitor as I would much rather instruct a specialised conveyancing solicitor in Cann Hall?
You should check but the the likelihood is that appoint one of their panel solicitors where you want the "fee-free" incentive. Speak to the bank and determine if they offer you a monetary alternative. Some banks have previously offered a £250 cashback as a further option in which case you could put that amount towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor near Cann Hall.
