Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Chorleywood and Rickmansworth

The Chorleywood and Rickmansworth conveyancing firm handling our Chorleywood and Rickmansworth conveyancing has discovered a difference when comparing the information in the valuation survey and what is in the title deeds. My solicitor informs me that he is duty bound to ensure that the lender is happy with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my lawyer’s course or action legitimate?

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 both parties.

Chorleywood and Rickmansworth leasehold properties involve far more paperwork than a freehold purchase, and therefore takes more time to examine and advise upon.Conveyancing will involve the lease having to be checked which is usually a lengthy document, queries raised to ensure that the covenants and conditions have been observed. If it is a flat there will be a management company in existence and the accounts of this will need to be checked and enquiries raised to ensure it is operating efficiently and that all monies due have been paid by the Seller to the company and if not ensuring that money is paid up to date or the appropriate undertakings obtained.
