The Burnham On Sea conveyancing firm handling our Burnham On Sea conveyancing has identified a discrepancy when comparing the information in the valuation report and what is in the conveyancing documents. My solicitor says that he is obliged to ensure that the bank is OK with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my conveyancer’s course or action appropriate?
Your conveyancer 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.
We are planning on selling our house in Burnham On Sea and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. A local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers used a national conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Burnham On Sea. Having lived in Burnham On Sea for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Should we contact our local Authority to obtain confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor already. Are they able to advise? You need to check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same illness)
I completed on my home on 8 March and my personal details is not yet on the land registry website. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Burnham On Sea advises it would be formalised in less than a month. Are properties in Burnham On Sea uniquely lengthy to register?
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Burnham On Sea registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can vary depending on the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry communicate with any third persons or bodies.

Registration is effected once the new owner has moved in to the property thus registration formalities is not typically an essential issue yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £195,000 and found one round the corner in Burnham On Sea I like with open areas and transport links nearby, however it's only got 61 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Burnham On Sea in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
Should you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be problematic. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
