I am obtaining a mortgage offer from Halifax. My intention is to employ the services of a Licensed Conveyancer in Chippenham. Does the Halifax Solicitor panel include Licensed Conveyancers?

The Chippenham conveyancing firm handling our Chippenham conveyancing has uncovered a difference between the information in the valuation report and what is in the legal papers for the property. My solicitor has advised that he needs to check that the lender is happy with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my conveyancer’s course or action appropriate?
Your solicitor must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions 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.

I have recentlybecome aware that Wolstenholmes have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Chippenham for a purchase of a freehold house 9 months ago. How can I be sure that the property is registered correctly in the name of the former proprietor?

I am looking for a flat up to £245,000 and found one near me in Chippenham I like with amenity areas and station nearby, the downside is that it only has 61 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Chippenham for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be problematic. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you can request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
