The Common Edge conveyancing firm handling our Common Edge conveyancing has discovered a discrepancy when comparing the information in the valuation survey and what is revealed within the conveyancing documents. My solicitor has advised that he is duty bound to check that the lender is happy with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my conveyancer’s course or action correct?
Your lawyer 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 you.

I have justbeen informed that Action Conveyancing have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Common Edge for a purchase of a freehold house 18 months ago. How can I establish that my home is not still registered in the name of the previous owner?
The easiest method to see if the premises is registered to you, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Common Edge conveyancing specialists.
How does conveyancing in Common Edge differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Common Edge contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is completed. This is because developers in Common Edge tend to acquire the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Common Edge or who has acted in the same development.
