Me and my partner are due to exchange on the purchase of a house in Thornhill but as a result of wreckage from a small fire at the property I have managed to agree compensation from the vendor of £2k in the form of a deduction in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of a side agreement however Clydesdale will not agree to this. Should they have been involved?

Your conveyancing practitioner being on a Clydesdale approved list is required to inform Clydesdale of any amendments to the sale price. If you were to refuse your conveyancing practitioner to notify the price change to Clydesdale then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Clydesdale and you would have to appoint a new conveyancing practitioner for your conveyancing in Thornhill.

Under Money Laundering Regulations, conveyancing solicitors are required to investigate not simply the identity of conveyancing clients but also the origin of the money that they receive in respect of any matter.

Your conveyancers are duty bound to notify the appropriate authorities should they believe that any monies received by them may contravene the Money Laundering Regulations.
