The Church Stretton conveyancing firm handling our Church Stretton conveyancing has identified a discrepancy between the surveyor’s assumptions in the valuation survey and what is in the legal papers for the property. My solicitor has advised that he is obliged to check that the lender is OK with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my lawyer’s stance legitimate?
Your solicitor 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.
I am planning to move house in March. Will my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the completion day. As an aside, can you put forward a removal company in Church Stretton. Conveyancing lawyer was chosen prior to coming across this website.
On the afternoon of completion you can pick up the house keys from your property agent but this should only take place when the sellers conveyancers advise the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be passed over. After that you can tell the removal men that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a specific removal company but can help you locate a conveyancing in Church Stretton or a solicitor that specialises in conveyancing in Church Stretton.
I have been told by my conveyancer that missing deeds insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Church Stretton?
The right level of missing deeds indemnity insurance depends on who your lender is. It would differ for example between Yorkshire Building Society and Bank of Scotland. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to borrowers take out such policies.
My partner and I have arranged a further advance on our home loan from Coventry BS as we intend to conduct a loft conversion to our home in Church Stretton. Do we need to appoint a nearby Church Stretton solicitor on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel to deal with the paperwork?
Coventry BS would not normally instruct firms on their approved list of lawyers to deal with such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Coventry BS list.
Should our conveyancer be raising enquiries about flooding as part of the conveyancing in Church Stretton.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for lawyers dealing with homes in Church Stretton.

The standard information given to a buyer’s solicitor (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) includes a standard inquiry of the owner to find out if the property has historically flooded. If the property has been flooded in past and is not notified by the owner, then a buyer could commence a claim for damages as a result of such an incorrect answer. The buyer’s lawyers may also order an environmental search. This will higlight if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, more detailed investigations should be made.
