The Birkenshaw conveyancing firm handling our Birkenshaw conveyancing has spotted a difference between the surveyor’s assumptions in the home valuation report and what is in the title deeds. My lawyer has advised that he is duty bound to ensure that the lender is OK with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my conveyancer’s course or action right?
Your conveyancing practitioner 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.

We were going to get a OIP from Clydesdale this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Clydesdale recommend any Birkenshaw solicitors on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Birkenshaw solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Clydesdale through the process.
I was told three weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Nationwide. Is it usual for Nationwide to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Birkenshaw is approved on their conveyancing panel? Nationwide have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.
A lender would not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Nationwide to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

In my capacity as executor for the will of my grandmother I am disposing of a residence in Neath but I am based in Birkenshaw. My lawyer (approximately 235 kilometers from mehas requested that I sign a stat dec before the transaction finalising.

Are there frequently found deficiencies that you see in leases for Birkenshaw properties?
There is nothing unique about leasehold conveyancing in Birkenshaw. Most leases are individual and legal mistakes in the legal wording can sometimes mean that certain provisions are not included. For example, if your lease is missing any of the following, it could be defective:
-
Clauses dealing with recovering service charges for expenditure on the building or common parts. A duty to insure the building
A defective lease can cause problems when trying to sell a property primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property. National Westminster Bank, Chelsea Building Society, and TSB all have express requirements when it comes to what is expected in a lease. If a mortgage lender believes that the lease is problematic they may refuse to grant the mortgage, forcing the purchaser to withdraw.
