Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Accrington

The Accrington conveyancing firm handling our Accrington conveyancing has identified an inconsistency when comparing the surveyor’s assumptions in the valuation survey and what is in the legal papers for the property. My solicitor has advised that he is obliged to check that the lender is happy with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my lawyer’s course or action right?

Your solicitor must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.

I have been told that property searches are the primary cause of hinderance in Accrington house deals. Is there any truth in this?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released determinations of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure amongst the common causes of delays in the conveyancing process. Searches are not likely to be the root cause of slowing down conveyancing in Accrington.

I'm purchasing my first flat in Accrington with the aid of help to buy. The developers would not move on the amount so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent advised me not reveal to my lawyer about this extras as it will put at risk my mortgage with the lender. Is this normal?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

I decided to have a survey completed on a property in Accrington prior to appointing conveyancers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. Our surveyor has said that some banks tend not issue a loan on such a premises.

It varies from the lender to lender. HSBC has different requirements for example to Halifax. If you e-mail us we can look into this further with the appropriate mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Accrington. Conveyancing will be smoother if you use a solicitor in Accrington especially if they regularly deal with such properties in Accrington.

I have appointed a Accrington conveyancing solicitor for our house purchase (novice purchasers) and have picked up in the engagement letter that they are not governed by the FCA. Need I be concerned or is that standard with lawyer?

We can't see why they should be. Most solicitor don't lend money. You should check that they are regulated by the SRA, who set stringent conditions in place on amounts sitting on client account.
