Our Ditchling lawyer has spotted an inconsistency when comparing the information in the valuation report and what is in the legal papers for the property. My solicitor informs me that he needs to check that the bank is OK with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my conveyancer’s course or action appropriate?
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.
My fiance and I are hoping to buy a 3 bedroom flat in Ditchling with a residential mortgage from Barnsley Building Society.We would like to retain our Ditchling conveyancing lawyer but Barnsley Building Society advised that her practice is not listed on their approved list of firms. It seems we have no choice but to instruct a Barnsley Building Society panel lawyer or keep our local solicitor and fork out for a Barnsley Building Society panel lawyer to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The home loan issued to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers needs to be on the Barnsley Building Society conveyancing panel. Until recently, most banks had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Barnsley Building Society
