The Ashton conveyancing firm handling our Ashton conveyancing has discovered a difference between the information in the home valuation report and what is in the conveyancing documents. My lawyer has advised that he must check that the bank is happy with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my solicitor’s course or action correct?
Your conveyancer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications 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 am purchasing a property in Ashton. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Nationwide be concerned?
As you are obtaining a mortgage with Nationwide your lawyer must check the formal requirements set out in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Nationwide. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook stipulates minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to Nationwide where a lease fails to meet these provisions. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not restricted to Ashton.
I am due to exchange contracts on my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in September 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Santander are being a right pain. The Ashton solicitor who is on the Santander conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Santander are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Santander have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Santander have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Santander may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
Planning on purchasing a maisonette in Ashton. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the HSBC conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Ashton conveyancer is on the HSBC conveyancing panel.

Have completed on a a terraced house in Ashton , how long should it take for the Land Registry to record my title? My Ashton conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be certain the registration formalities are dealt with.
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Ashton registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can adjust according to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry must send notices to any other persons or bodies. As of today roughly three quarters of such applications are fully addressed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be longer delays. Historically registration takes place after the buyer has moved in to the property therefore post completion formalities is not usually an essential issue but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor must contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
