My Cringleford solicitor has discovered a discrepancy between the information in the valuation survey and what is in the conveyancing documents. My lawyer informs me that he must ensure that the bank is OK with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my solicitor’s stance appropriate?
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.

It would be unwise to be swayed by the cheapest Cringleford conveyancing costs illustration. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in ahead of the deal.
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unseasoned as FTB of a garden flat in Cringleford. Do I receive the keys to the property on the completion date from my conveyancer? If this is the case, I will find a local conveyancing solicitor in Cringleford?
On the day of completion you do not need to attend the conveyancers office in Cringleford.

Your solicitor should review the registered title as conveyancing in Cringleford will sometimes identify restrictions in the title documents which prohibit certain works or necessitated the permission of another owner.

Many locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or affect extensions. It would be wise to check these issues with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.
How does conveyancing in Cringleford differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Cringleford contact us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is constructed. This is because developers in Cringleford usually 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 used to new build conveyancing in Cringleford or who has acted in the same development.
I want to rent out my leasehold apartment in Cringleford. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask her. Do I need to ask my freeholder for permission?
A lease governs relations between the freeholder and you the leaseholder; specifically, it will say if subletting is banned, or permitted but only subject to certain caveats. The accepted inference is that if the lease contains no expres ban or restriction, subletting is permitted. Most leases in Cringleford do not prevent an absolute prevention of subletting – such a clause would adversely affect the market value the flat. In most cases there is a basic requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly supplying a duplicate of the tenancy agreement.
