The Cromer conveyancing firm handling our Cromer conveyancing has uncovered a discrepancy between the surveyor’s assumptions in the valuation report and what is revealed within the legal papers for the property. My solicitor says that he is duty bound to check that the lender is happy with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my conveyancer’s stance correct?
Your conveyancer 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 you.
I have an AIP. The lender mentioned the mortgage came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to instruct their panel conveyancer as I would much rather instruct a high street conveyancing solicitor in Cromer?
You should check but the chances are that appoint one of their panel solicitors where you want the "fee-free" deal. Contact the bank to check if they offer you a cash alternative. It is not unheard for a lender to give a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case that money can go towards the cost for your conveyancing solicitor near Cromer.
I am buying a victorian detached house in Cromer. Our aim is to convert the garage to an office at the house.Will the conveyancing process include investigations to determine if these alterations are permitted?
Your conveyancer should review the deeds as conveyancing in Cromer can sometimes identify restrictions in the title deeds which prohibit categories of alterations or require the permission of another owner. Certain additions need local authority planning consent and approval in accordance building regulations. Some locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or impact extensions. It would be prudent to check these issues with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.
We have a mortgage agreed in principle with Nottingham. Cromer conveyancing practitioners are appointed. How long does it take for Nottingham to issue the offer to the property lawyer?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Nottingham completed the survey? Have you advised Nottingham as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Nottingham conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
Intending to buy a apartment in Cromer. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage".

I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Cromer conveyancing practitioner is on the Principality conveyancing panel.
