The Colyton conveyancing firm handling our Colyton conveyancing has uncovered a discrepancy when comparing the assumptions in the valuation report and what is in the title deeds. My solicitor informs me that he must check that the lender is happy with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my solicitor’s approach right?

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.

There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Colyton registration formalities.

As of today approximately 80% of such applications are fully addressed within two weeks but occasionally there can be longer hold-ups. Registration occurs after the purchaser has moved in to the premises so 'speed' is not always primary concern yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
