Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Blakelaw

My Blakelaw conveyancer has spotted a discrepancy when comparing the information in the home valuation report and what is revealed within the legal papers for the property. My lawyer informs me that he needs to check that the bank is happy with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my solicitor’s approach legitimate?

Your conveyancing practitioner must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook provisions 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.

Do Co-operative recommend any Blakelaw solicitors on the Co-operative conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?

You will need to appoint Blakelaw solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Co-operative through the process.

How does conveyancing in Blakelaw differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Blakelaw contact us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is built. This is because builders in Blakelaw usually buy the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. 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. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Blakelaw or who has acted in the same development.

Having checked that they are the solicitor should be able to simultaneously deal with the two conveyancing matters but you should have a chat with you lawyer and specify your desired outcome and needs.

Should one as executor remove a deceased person's name from the title register for a house in Blakelaw?

If a Blakelaw property is co-owned and one of the proprietors passes away, the name will not automatically be removed from the title deeds. It is not necessary to remove their name as in the event of a sale your conveyancer would just need to evidence as to the reason the co owner is missing from the contract, such as the probate documents.

With a view to making the sale conveyancing more straight forward in the future you may apply to have the deceased party removed from the title register by applying to HM Land Registry with evidence of the death. There is no charge from the Registry for this service.
