Our Felinheli solicitor has uncovered a difference between the assumptions in the valuation report and what is in the conveyancing documents. My lawyer says that he must check that the bank is OK with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my conveyancer’s approach appropriate?
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.

The deeds to my home can not be found. The conveyancers who conducted the conveyancing in Felinheli 4 years ago have long since closed. What are my options?
Nowadays there are copies made of almost everything, and your solicitor should know exactly where to find all the suitable documentation so you can buy or dispose of your property without any difficulty. Where duplicates are not available, your conveyancer may be able to arrange cover in the form of insurance or indemnities protecting you against future claims on the property.
I am looking for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one round the corner in Felinheli I like with a park and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 52 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Felinheli in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a home loan that many years may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
What is the difference between surveying and conveyancing in Felinheli?
Conveyancing - in Felinheli or elsewhere - is the legal term given to transferring legal title of property from one person to another. It involves the checking of the title. Whether buying or selling, you should be aware of anything affecting the property such as proposals by government departments, illegal buildings, or outstanding rates. The conveyancer should conduct the appropriate searches and inquiries on the property. Surveying relates to the structure of a property itself. A surveyor will look at a house, flat and any outbuildings you are intending to buy and will help you find out about the condition of the building and, if there are problems, give you leverage for negotiating the buying price down or asking the vendor to remedy the defects before you move in.
