The Attleborough conveyancing firm handling our Attleborough conveyancing has uncovered a discrepancy between the assumptions in the valuation report and what is revealed within the title deeds. My solicitor informs me that he needs to check that the bank is happy with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my solicitor’s stance legitimate?
Your conveyancer 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.
As someone with no idea as to the Attleborough conveyancing process what is the number one tip you can give me concerning the ownership transfer in Attleborough
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Attleborough or throughout England and Wales is an adversarial process. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there is lots of opportunity for conflict between you and other parties involved in the legal transfer of property. E.g., the vendor, property agent and even potentially the mortgage company. Appointing a law firm for your conveyancing in Attleborough should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY person in the transaction whose role it is to protect your best interests and to protect you.
Every so often a third party with a vested interest may attempt to sway you that it is in your interests to do things their way. For instance, the selling agent may claim to be helping by claiming that your conveyancer is wrong. Or your financial adviser may advise you to do take action that is against your solicitors recommendation. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.

I am expecting a AIP from Santander this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Santander recommend any Attleborough solicitors on the Santander conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Attleborough solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Santander conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Santander through the process.
I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Attleborough off the council. I have a mortgage agreed with TSB. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with TSB, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the TSB conveyancing panel.
five months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Attleborough completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 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 asset 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.

Is there a difference between surveying and conveyancing in Attleborough?
Conveyancing - in Attleborough or anywhere in England and Wales - is the process of legally transferring legal title of property from one person to another. It therefore includes the investigation of the title. Whether buying or selling, you should be aware of anything affecting the property such as proposals by government departments, illegal buildings, or outstanding rates. The conveyancer should conduct the appropriate searches and inquiries on the property. Surveying relates to the structure of a property itself. A surveyor will look at a house, flat and any outbuildings you are buying and will help you discover the condition of the building and, if there are problems, give you leverage for reducing the price down or asking the vendor to remedy the problems before you complete your move.
