I am due to exchange buying a property in Treforest but as a consequence of wreckage from the recent storms I have was able negotiate reparation from the current proprietors of £3k in the form of a reduction in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of amending the contract yet Kent Reliance will not agree to this. Should they have been involved?
The lawyer being on a Kent Reliance conveyancing panel is duty bound to advise Kent Reliance of any variations to the purchase price. If you were to refuse your solicitor to notify the price change to Kent Reliance then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Kent Reliance and you would have to appoint a new conveyancing practitioner for your conveyancing in Treforest.
