The Bickley conveyancing firm handling our Bickley conveyancing has identified a discrepancy when comparing the surveyor’s assumptions in the home valuation survey and what is revealed within the legal papers for the property. 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 conveyancer’s stance legitimate?
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.
Why do I have to pay up front when it comes to conveyancing in Bickley?
Where you are retaining lawyers for conveyancing in Bickley your lawyer will ask you to provide them with monies to cover the the cost of the conveyancing searches. Generally this is asked for to cover the fees of the conveyancing searches. If any down payment is as part of the total price then this should be asked for shortly ahead of exchange of contracts. Any further balance that is due will be payable a few days prior to the completion date.

Should you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you can request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
