Me and my partner are soon to exchange on the purchase of a house in Cleator Moor but as a result of damage from a small fire at the property I have was able negotiate reparation from the current proprietors in the sum of £2k by way of a adjustment in the price. I had intended this to be addressed as part of the conveyancing process but Santander are not allowing this. Why were they informed?
The conveyancer that is on the Santander approved list is obliged to inform Santander of any amendments to the sale price. If you prohibit your conveyancer to report the price change to Santander then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Santander and you would have to appoint a new solicitor for your conveyancing in Cleator Moor.
