My Allenton lawyer has uncovered a discrepancy when comparing the surveyor’s assumptions in the home valuation report and what is in the legal papers for the property. My lawyer says that he must check that the bank is happy with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my lawyer’s stance appropriate?
Your conveyancing practitioner must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook provisions 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.

How does conveyancing in Allenton differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Allenton approach us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is constructed. This is because builders in Allenton usually purchase the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Allenton or who has acted in the same development.
