My wife and I are about to complete buying a property in Wandsworth but as a consequence of wreckage from a small fire at the property I have was able negotiate compensation from the owner in the sum of £3k in the form of a deduction in the price. I had intended this to be addressed as part of amending the contract however Barclays will not permit this. Should they have been notified?

Your property lawyer being on a Barclays approved list is duty bound to advise Barclays of any variations to the purchase price. If you prohibit your solicitor to report the reduction to Barclays then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Barclays and you would have to appoint a new property lawyer for your conveyancing in Wandsworth.
