My Barton Seagrave solicitor has discovered an inconsistency when comparing the assumptions in the valuation survey and what is in the conveyancing documents. My solicitor informs me that he needs to ensure that the bank is happy with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my solicitor’s approach appropriate?
Your solicitor must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements 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 buying a 4 bedroom semi-detached house in Barton Seagrave. The intention is to carry out a loft conversion at the property.Will the conveyancing process include enquiries to ascertain if these works are allowed?
Your property lawyer should review the deeds as conveyancing in Barton Seagrave will on occasion identify restrictions in the title documents which prohibit categories of works or require the permission of another owner. Many extensions require local authority planning consent and approval in accordance building regulations. Certain locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or affect extensions. You should check these issues with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.
The formalities of my purchase has taken place for my property in Barton Seagrave. Conveyancing was a necessary evil but I would like to complain 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 Care Department at head office. Ordinarily complaints to a lender are resolved effectively and efficiently. If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service who will take matters further.
I have finally had an offer on an apartment in Barton Seagrave accepted, the vendors do however have an associated purchase. The sellers have put an offer on a property, but it’s not been accepted yet, and have viewings of other flats booked. I have chosen a local conveyancing solicitor in Barton Seagrave. What do I do now? At what stage do I apply for the mortgage with Principality?
It is normal to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (mortgage application is approx £1k, then survey, Barton Seagrave conveyancing search fees, etc). The first thing to do is check that your conveyancer is on the Principality approved list. Regarding the next phase this very much depends on the specifics of your transaction, desire for this property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market the majority of purchasers would apply for the mortgage with Principality and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their lawyer to move forward with searches.
I'm buying my first flat in Barton Seagrave with the aid of help to buy. The developers refused to budge the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The property agent told me not to tell my conveyancer about the side-deal as it will jeopardize my loan with Bank of Scotland. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

The property lawyers carrying out our conveyancing in Barton Seagrave has sent papers to review that indicate that the land is unregistered with epitome documents. Is it not the case that all properties in Barton Seagrave are registered?
The majority of property in Barton Seagrave is registered. An 'epitome' is basically a dossier of photocopies of documents affecting an unregistered title. Many Barton Seagrave conveyancing solicitors should be capable of dealing with such matters but if any uncertainty exists the conventional guidance presently appears to be for the seller to deal with the registration formalities first and then deal with the sale conveyance - this can though naturally cause a protracted conveyancing.
