I am due to exchange on the purchase of a property in Nunhead but as a result of damage from the recent storms I have was able negotiate recompense from the current proprietors of £3k by way of a reduction in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of amending the contract but Co-operative will not agree to this. Should they have been notified?

What is the distinction between surveying and conveyancing in Nunhead?
Conveyancing - in Nunhead or anywhere in England and Wales - is the legal term given to transferring legal title of property from one person to another. It therefore includes the investigation of the title. Whether buying or selling, you should be aware of anything affecting the property such as proposals by government departments, illegal buildings, or outstanding rates. The conveyancer should conduct the appropriate searches and inquiries on the property. Surveying relates to the structure of a property itself. A surveyor will look at a house, flat and any outbuildings you are intending to buy and will help you discover the condition of the building and, if there are problems, give you a powerful reason for negotiating the buying price down or asking the seller to fix the problems before you move in.
