The Canford Cliffs conveyancing firm handling our Canford Cliffs conveyancing has discovered a difference when comparing the assumptions in the home valuation survey and what is revealed within the legal papers for the property. My solicitor says that he is duty bound to check that the lender is OK with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my solicitor’s approach right?
Your property lawyer 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 both parties.
We are purchasing a newbuild flat in Canford Cliffs with a loan from Barclays .We have a Canford Cliffs conveyancing practitioner but Barclays says her practice is not on their approved list of firms. It seems we are left with no choice but to instruct a Barclays panel solicitor or keep our preferred solicitor and pay for a Barclays panel lawyer to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The mortgage issued to you is subject to its terms and conditions, a common one being that lawyers will be on the Barclays conveyancing panel. Until recently, most banks had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Barclays
