We are due to exchange on the purchase of a property in Crymych but as a result of damage from the recent storms I have managed to agree compensation from the current proprietors in the sum of three thousand pounds in the form of a adjustment in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of amending the contract but TSB will not permit this. Should they have been notified?

About to purchase maisonette in Crymych. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Crymych conveyancer is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel.
My partner and I are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our home in Crymych and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. A high street Crymych conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers instructed a web based conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Crymych. Having lived in Crymych for many years we know that this is a non issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to obtain clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm already. What do they say? You must enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same illness)
