Well if @AirTime could give me some more info that would be good because currently we've reached an impass
Tenderloin-
I've text him to ask him to drop in
He's the worlds busiest man though so when that will be I can't guarantee !

Hey mate it's exactly what princeperch said. Your solicitor doesn't sound like she knows what she's doing/can't be bothered. She should draft a rider to the contract stating that the 4.5% of purchase price will be retained from the vendor upon completion for improvement works or something like that. The original agreed purchase price remains the same for contract and for mortgage purposes. There is no need to get another mortgage offer. You need to tell her to get her act together. I can't find my docs here as the files are in boxes but it really isn't that difficult. She arranged it for me a week before we were due to exchange. That was alongside arranging a new mortgage and remortgage to complete simultaneously.

I think she's got it wrong. @airtime had this problem and did exactly what I described with his solicior . purchase price at land registry was x, the price paid in reality was x minus 2 or 3/grand.
You would need to agree that the allowance was in respect of property improvements though..
