Me and my partner are about to exchange on the purchase of a house in Gillingham but as a result of wreckage from the recent storms I have managed to agree compensation from the seller in the sum of £2k taking the form of a deduction in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of a side agreement yet Co-operative are not allowing this. Should they have been approached?
Any conveyancing practitioner being on a Co-operative conveyancing panel is duty bound to inform Co-operative of any variations to the sale price. If you prohibit your solicitor to report the reduction to Co-operative then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Co-operative and you would have to appoint a new conveyancer for your conveyancing in Gillingham.

three months have elapsed since my purchase conveyancing in Gillingham concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the property from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
