We are soon to exchange buying a house in Ravenshead but as a consequence of wreckage from the recent storms I have was able negotiate reparation from the seller of £3k by way of a adjustment in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of a side agreement however Principality will not permit this. Why were they notified?
Any property lawyer being on a Principality approved list is duty bound to inform Principality of any variations to the sale price. If you prohibit your conveyancer to notify the price change to Principality then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Principality and you would have to appoint a new property lawyer for your conveyancing in Ravenshead.
