My Chapeltown lawyer has spotted a difference when comparing the information in the valuation report and what is in the legal papers for the property. My lawyer has advised that he must ensure that the bank 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.

How does conveyancing in Chapeltown differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Chapeltown come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is ready to move into. This is because new home sellers in Chapeltown tend to buy the land, 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 property lawyers 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 Chapeltown or who has acted in the same development.

My husband and I are FTB’s - had an offer accepted, but the property agent advised that the seller will only issue a contract if we instruct the agent's chosen solicitors as they want an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a local solicitor with experience of conveyancing in Chapeltown
We suspect that the seller is not behind this demand. If they require ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated buyer is going to damage their objectives. Avoid the agents and go straight to the sellers and make sure they understand (a)you are motivated purchasers (b)you are ready to progress, with finances arranged © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you will continue to instruct your own,trusted Chapeltown conveyancing firm - as opposed tothe ones that will give the negotiator at the agency a kickback or achieve conveyancing figures set by HQ.
