The Arthog conveyancing firm handling our Arthog conveyancing has discovered a difference when comparing the information in the valuation survey and what is in the conveyancing documents. My solicitor has advised that he is duty bound to check that the lender is happy with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my conveyancer’s approach correct?
Your property lawyer 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 both parties.
It has been 4 months following my purchase conveyancing in Arthog completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £180,000. 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.

Due to the guidance of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Arthog ahead of appointing lawyers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold element to the property. The surveyor has said that some banks may refuse to give a loan on such a house.

The benefit of a high street Arthog conveyancing practice is that you can visit the firm to execute paperwork, present your ID and pester them where appropriate. Having local Arthog know how is a bonus. However nothing is more important than finding someone that will do a good and efficient job. If other friends have used your friend and the majority were happy that should surpass using an unfamiliar Arthog conveyancing solicitor just because they are round the corner.
