My Bude conveyancer has spotted a discrepancy between the surveyor’s assumptions in the valuation report and what is revealed within the legal papers for the property. My solicitor informs me that he is duty bound to ensure that the bank is OK with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my lawyer’s course or action legitimate?

Your conveyancer 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 both parties.

At what point can the exchange of contracts happen for residential conveyancing in Bude and am I required to attend the lawyers office?

If you are in close proximity to our conveyancing solicitors in Bude you are invited in to sign documents. That being said, the lender approved solicitors we work with supply countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide as equally diligent and professional a job for you when communicating with you by post or email. The executing of the contract is not the critical part. Signing on the dotted line is necessary for the conveyancer to exchange contracts when the time is right, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The exchange process is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a lengthy "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Bude)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

Last January I purchased a leasehold flat in Bude. Am I liable to pay service charges for periods before completion of my purchase?

Where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous lessee and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. However, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. It is an essential part of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to ensure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.

If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).

The solicitor and licensed conveyancing practices listed on our site have advised us that they are on the bank panel and agreed to advise us to take down their listing in the event of removal off of the lender panel. To date we have not been informed by either a lender or a member of the public that the data about a specific Bude firm being on the mortgage company conveyancing panel is incorrect.
