The Bingley conveyancing firm handling our Bingley conveyancing has discovered a discrepancy between the information in the home valuation report and what is in the conveyancing documents. My solicitor has advised that he is duty bound to ensure that the bank is happy with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my solicitor’s stance legitimate?
Your conveyancing practitioner must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers.

Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unseasoned as a 1st time buyer of a ground floor flat in Bingley. Do I pick up the keys to the property on completion from my lawyer? If so, I will instruct a local conveyancing solicitor in Bingley?

I am the single recipient of my late father’s will and I have everything in my name now, including the my former home in Bingley. The Bingley property was put into my name in March. I plan to dispose of the house. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship will be treated the same way as though I had purchased the property in March. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?
The CML handbook mandates solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you may be affected by that. How sensible a view banks take of it, depend on the lender as this obligation is primarily there to capture the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of properties.
I can not fathom if my mortgage offer requires a lease extension. I have called into my local Bingley building society branch on various occasions and was informed it wasn't a problem and they will lend. My Bingley conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- called to say that they refuse to lend in accordance with their published requirements. I have no idea who is right.
As long as the solicitor is on the mortgage company panel, she or he must adhere to the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook provisions for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank 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 mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.

Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly.
