Me and my partner are soon to exchange on the purchase of a property in Gorton but as a result of damage from the recent storms I have was able negotiate recompense from the vendor in the sum of six thousand pounds in the form of a adjustment in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process however Santander are not allowing this. Should they have been informed?
Any conveyancing practitioner that is on a Santander approved list is duty bound to inform Santander of any variations to the purchase price.

My financial adviser has suggested using their conveyancer for our conveyancing in Gorton - Surely it’s advisable to just use them?
This is not necessarily the case and you are entitled to instruct whichever lawyer you prefer for your Gorton conveyancing. The property lawyer put forward by a 3rd party adviser may not necessarily be the best property lawyer, they may recommend their own conveyancing firm who are based far away. In this instance you may not have contact with your conveyancer and due to the lack of continuity in the transaction, it may be difficult to obtain updates.
