Late nomination for transferee
If the transferee named on the A & I changes due to a last minute change by the purchaser, the inclusion of the purchaser's partner as co-transferee, and it is impractical to have a new A & I signed by your vendor client, there needs to be a clear paper trail evidencing the nomination. The evidence should be in the form of an email or letter from the purchaser's solicitor confirming the nomination.
Another document evidencing the nomination could be the Sale Notice, which should show the purchaser's correct and full nominated names. This is a document that the purchaser will always provide to the vendor and will cover the situation where the purchaser doesn't and refuses to provide an email or letter confirming the nomination (which they are not under any obligation to do).
The rationale for permitting this is that it is relatively low risk for your vendor client to be transferring the property to a different person or entity. It is not acceptable to use the words "or nominee" on the A & I form as a matter of course.
