I am about to complete buying a property in Stratford but as a result of wreckage from the recent storms I have managed to agree recompense from the vendor in the sum of three thousand pounds in the form of a adjustment in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of amending the contract however UBS will not agree to this. Why were they approached?

If you prohibit your conveyancer to disclose the reduction to UBS then they would have to discontinue acting for you.
