My wife and I are about to complete buying a house in Markfield but as a consequence of wreckage from some water damage at the property I have managed to agree recompense from the vendor of £2k in the form of a reduction in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of amending the contract but HSBC will not permit this. Why were they informed?
The conveyancer that is on the HSBC conveyancing panel is duty bound to inform HSBC of any amendments to the purchase price. If you were to refuse your solicitor to report the reduction to HSBC then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, HSBC and you would have to appoint a new property lawyer for your conveyancing in Markfield.
