Our Aldersgate conveyancer has spotted an inconsistency when comparing the information in the home valuation report and what is revealed within the title deeds. My lawyer informs me that he needs to check that the lender is happy with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my solicitor’s course or action legitimate?
Your lawyer 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 both parties.

I purchased my flat on 11 April and the transaction details are still not on the land registry website. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Aldersgate advises it would be concluded in a couple of weeks. Are properties in Aldersgate uniquely lengthy to register?
As far as conveyancing in Aldersgate is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timescales can differ subject to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry communicate with any third parties. As of today approximately 80% of submission are fully addressed within two weeks but some can be subject to protracted hold-ups. Registration is effected once the new owner has moved in to the property therefore registration formalities is not always top priority but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
