My wife and I are soon to exchange on the purchase of a property in Delabole but as a consequence of damage from the recent storms I have was able negotiate reparation from the vendor of £3k taking the form of a reduction in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of a side agreement however TSB will not agree to this. Why were they involved?
Your property lawyer that is on a TSB approved list is duty bound to advise TSB of any variations to the sale price. If you were to refuse your lawyer to report the reduction to TSB then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, TSB and you would have to appoint a new lawyer for your conveyancing in Delabole.
