The Ampthill conveyancing firm handling our Ampthill conveyancing has discovered an inconsistency between the surveyor’s assumptions in the home valuation survey and what is revealed within the legal papers for the property. My lawyer says that he is obliged to check that the lender is happy with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my conveyancer’s course or action appropriate?
Your lawyer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions 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.

After the abolition of Home Information Packs, EPC’s became a required part of moving house. An EPC must be to hand prior to the property being marketed.

If you are using a Ampthill conveyancing practitioner they might be able to arrange EPC’s due to their contacts with long established Ampthill providers
Completion of my remortgage has taken place for my property in Ampthill. Conveyancing was a necessary evil but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. How do I make a complaint?
Almost all banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Department at head office. In most cases complaints to a lender are sorted out very quickly. However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR who will take matters further.
It has been 2 months following my purchase conveyancing in Ampthill completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £215,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the premises from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and identified one round the corner in Ampthill I like with amenity areas and station nearby, however it only has 51 years on the lease. There is not much else in Ampthill in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you may request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this.
