I am soon to complete on the purchase of a property in Castle Vale but as a result of wreckage from some water damage at the property I have was able negotiate compensation from the owner of six thousand pounds taking the form of a adjustment in the price. This was going to be addressed as part of amending the contract but Clydesdale are not allowing this. Why were they informed?
The conveyancing practitioner that is on a Clydesdale conveyancing panel is duty bound to disclose to Clydesdale of any changes to the sale price. If you prohibit your conveyancing practitioner to disclose the reduction to Clydesdale then they would have to discontinue acting for you.

How does conveyancing in Castle Vale differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Castle Vale approach us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is completed. This is because new home sellers in Castle Vale typically purchase the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Castle Vale or who has acted in the same development.
