My Avery Hill lawyer has uncovered a difference when comparing the information in the home valuation report and what is revealed within the conveyancing documents. My solicitor has advised that he must ensure that the lender is OK with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my conveyancer’s stance appropriate?
Your conveyancing practitioner 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 both parties.

Forgive me if this question is silly but I am new to the process as FTB of a two bedroom flat in Avery Hill. Do I pick up the keys to the premises on completion from my conveyancer? If this is the case, I will use a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Avery Hill?
On the day of completion you do not need to go to the conveyancers office in Avery Hill. Conveyancing lawyers for you will transfer the purchase money to the vendor’s conveyancers, and once they have received this, you should be called to receive the keys from the selling Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this happens between 1 and 3pm.
I can not fathom if my mortgage offer requires a lease extension. I have called into my local Avery Hill bank branch on a couple of occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they would lend. My Avery Hill conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they would not lend based on their specific requirements. Who do I believe?
The conveyancer must follow the CML Handbook section two provisions for your lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
