Our Bexhill lawyer has spotted an inconsistency between the surveyor’s assumptions in the valuation survey and what is in the conveyancing documents. My lawyer informs me that he must ensure that the bank is OK with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my lawyer’s stance appropriate?
Your property lawyer 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.

This question may be naive but I am unseasoned as FTB of a ground floor flat in Bexhill. Do I collect the keys to the premises on the completion date from my solicitor? If so, I will instruct a local conveyancing solicitor in Bexhill?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will transfer the completion advance to the seller's lawyers, and once they have received this, you will be able to receive the keys from the property Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.
We are due to move home in May. Should my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the completion day. As an aside, can you recommend a removal company in Bexhill. Conveyancing firm was chosen before I stumbled across your page.
On the day of completion you can pick up the house keys from your property agent but this should only take place after the previous owners solicitors advise the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be collected. Subsequently you can tell the removal company that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a specific removal company but can assist you in choosing a residential property solicitor in Bexhill or a lawyer that specialises in conveyancing in Bexhill.
We were going to get a AIP from Aldermore 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 Aldermore recommend any Bexhill solicitors on the Aldermore conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Bexhill solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Aldermore through the process.
Me and my brother have a renovated Edwardian property in Bexhill. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and Chelsea Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold under the exact same property. Is it worth asking Chelsea Building Society to clarify?
You should review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Bexhill and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also enquire as to the position with the conveyancing solicitor who conducted the conveyancing.
