The Church Village conveyancing firm handling our Church Village conveyancing has spotted a difference when comparing the surveyor’s assumptions in the home valuation survey and what is revealed within the legal papers for the property. My lawyer says that he must check that the bank is happy with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my lawyer’s course or action appropriate?
Your conveyancing practitioner must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements 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.

The first thing you should do is contact your conveyancer and enquire if they are on the lender panel. Otherwise you should get in touch with Lloyds TSB Bank who may be able to help.

I'm buying a new build house in Church Village with a loan from Britannia. The builders would not budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The property agent advised me not inform my conveyancer about this extras as it will impact my loan with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
I am looking for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and found one round the corner in Church Village I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 61 years on the lease. There is not much else in Church Village suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
If you need a home loan that many years will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you could 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 with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
