The Common Edge conveyancing firm handling our Common Edge conveyancing has uncovered a discrepancy when comparing the assumptions in the valuation report and what is revealed within the legal papers for the property. My solicitor informs me that he is obliged to ensure that the bank is OK with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my conveyancer’s approach correct?
Your property lawyer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions 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.
Are the Common Edge conveyancing solicitors identified as being on the Aldermore conveyancing panel, together with their details provided by Aldermore?
Common Edge conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Aldermore conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Aldermore directly.

I have justfound out that Wolstenholmes have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Common Edge for a purchase of a freehold house 9 months ago. How can I check that the property is in my name in the name of the former proprietor?
The easiest way to see if the property 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 or newly converted property in Common Edge come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because builders in Common Edge tend to buy 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Common Edge or who has acted in the same development.
