I am about to complete on the purchase of a property in Huyton but as a result of wreckage from the recent storms I have was able negotiate recompense from the current proprietors in the sum of £2k by way of a reduction in the price. This was going to be addressed as part of a side agreement yet Leeds Building Society are not allowing this. Why were they notified?

My husband and I are first time buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the agent informed us that the seller will only go ahead if we use the agent's chosen solicitors as they want an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a local conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Huyton

Contact the owners directly and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with finances arranged © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you are going to use your preferred Huyton conveyancing firm - rather thanthose that will earn the estate agent a commission or meet his conveyancing thresholds demanded by HQ.
