We are soon to exchange buying a house in Norwood Green but as a result of wreckage from some water damage at the property I have was able negotiate recompense from the current proprietors in the sum of £3k in the form of a deduction in the price.

The CML handbook mandates conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months."

It is unlikely the vendors are driving this. If they require ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a genuine purchaser is going to damage their objectives. Contact the vendors directly and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with finances arranged © you have nothing to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you will continue to appoint your preferred Norwood Green conveyancing lawyers - rather thanthe ones that will earn their estate agent a commission or hit his conveyancing thresholds set by corporate headquarters.
