Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Filey

My Filey solicitor has uncovered a difference between the information in the home valuation report and what is revealed within the title deeds. My lawyer has advised that he is duty bound to check that the lender is OK with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my conveyancer’s approach legitimate?

Your property lawyer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook provisions 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 expecting a mortgage offer soon. The lender mentioned the mortgage came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to use their panel conveyancer as I would much rather use a specialised conveyancing solicitor in Filey?

In the past a few lenders offered a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case you could put that amount towards the cost for your conveyancing solicitor near Filey.
