The Bayswater conveyancing firm handling our Bayswater conveyancing has uncovered an inconsistency between the surveyor’s assumptions in the valuation survey and what is revealed within the legal papers for the property. My solicitor informs me that he is obliged to ensure that the bank is happy with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my lawyer’s stance correct?
Your solicitor 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 you.
Please explain the implications if my lawyer’s firm is removed from the Co-operative Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Bayswater?
The first thing to point out is that, this is very unlikely to happen. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit for a fee.
There are a variety of conveyancing solicitors in Bayswater but how do I know who's good?
Do not opt for the lowest Bayswater conveyancing fees. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.
A relative advised me that in purchasing a property in Bayswater there may be a number of restrictions limiting what one can do in terms of external alterations to the property. Is this right?
