The Edenbridge conveyancing firm handling our Edenbridge conveyancing has spotted a difference when comparing the information in the valuation report and what is revealed within the conveyancing documents. My solicitor informs me that he needs to check that the bank is happy with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my conveyancer’s course or action legitimate?
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 you.

We are getting the release of further funds on our home loan from Nationwide as we want to carry out a loft conversion to our house in Edenbridge. Are we obliged to appoint a bricks and mortar Edenbridge solicitor on the Nationwide conveyancing panel to handle the paperwork?
Nationwide would not normally require a member of their approved list of lawyers to deal with such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Nationwide list.
The formalities of my remortgage has taken place for my property in Edenbridge. Conveyancing was of an acceptable standard but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. Who do I contact should I wish to lodge a complaint?
All banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Department at head office. We understand that complaints to a lender are resolved effectively and efficiently. However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service with full details of your complaint.

Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in Edenbridge.

How does the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 affect my commercial offices in Edenbridge and how can your lawyers assist?
The particular law that you refer to provides security of tenure to business leaseholders, granting the legal entitlement to make a request to court for a continuation of occupancy when the lease comes to an end. There are limited grounds where a landlord can refuse a lease renewal and the rules are complicated. We are happy to direct you to commercial conveyancing solicitors who use the act for protection and handle your commercial conveyancing in Edenbridge
My husband and I are first time buyers - agreed a price, but the estate agent advised that the owners will only go ahead if we instruct their preferred solicitors as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a family conveyancer who is familiar with conveyancing in Edenbridge
We suspect that the owner is not behind this request. Should the seller desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a genuine purchaser is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Speak to the vendors direct and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are genuine buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you will continue to instruct your preferred Edenbridge conveyancing firm - rather thanthose that will give the estate agent a kickback or achieve conveyancing figures demanded by senior management.
