My Cullercoats solicitor has identified a difference between the information in the home valuation survey and what is in the conveyancing documents. My lawyer says that he is obliged to check that the bank is OK with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my conveyancer’s approach correct?
Your solicitor must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications 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'm the sole beneficiary of my late father’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Cullercoats. The Cullercoats property was put into my name in January. I plan to dispose of the house. I do know about the CML 6 month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship may be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the property in January. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The CML handbook obliges solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you might be impacted by that. How sensible a view lenders take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this clause principally exists to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of properties.
The mortgage over my property is with Virgin Money for my property in Cullercoats. Conveyancing was finalised a year ago. Should I wish to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Virgin Money?
Virgin Money must be informed of your intention before letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Virgin Money’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Virgin Money will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Virgin Money directly. You need not do this via a Virgin Money conveyancing panel solicitor.
About to purchase maisonette in Cullercoats. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. 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 Cullercoats lawyer is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel.
