My Cleobury Mortimer solicitor has uncovered a discrepancy when comparing the surveyor’s assumptions in the valuation report and what is in the title deeds. My lawyer informs me that he is duty bound to ensure that the bank is happy with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my lawyer’s stance 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 you.
We are buying a property and require a conveyancing solicitor in Cleobury Mortimer who is on the Nottingham approved panel. Can you recommend a local solicitor?

We are selling our flat in Cleobury Mortimer. Will my conveyancer have to be required to be on the TSB conveyancing panel in order to deal with paying off my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the TSB conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their specifications fairly frequently at the moment.
Is there a list of UBS panel conveyancers in Cleobury Mortimer on the Council of Mortgage Lender’s Website?
No. There is no such directory service on the Council of Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association websites.

After shopping around on the internet I have found a Cleobury Mortimer conveyancer having checked that they are on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
Nottingham will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Nottingham will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Cleobury Mortimer surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.
My offer on a house in Cleobury Mortimer has been accepted, but there is a chain. The sellers have offered on somewhere, but it’s not been accepted yet, and are looking at other properties booked. I have selected a local conveyancing solicitor in Cleobury Mortimer. What do I do now? At what stage do I apply for the mortgage with UBS?
It is normal to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses too early (home loan application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then valuation, Cleobury Mortimer conveyancing search costs, etc). The first thing to do is ensure that your solicitor is on the UBS conveyancing panel. Concerning the next stages this very much dictated by the specifics of your case, attraction to this property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market the majority of buyers will apply for the mortgage with UBS and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they ask their conveyancing practitioner to proceed with searches.

I’m about to sell my garden flat in Cleobury Mortimer. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, however I have recently had a half-yearly service charge invoice – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should clear the service charge as usual because all rents and service payments will be apportioned on completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
