The Flint Mountain conveyancing firm handling our Flint Mountain conveyancing has spotted an inconsistency when comparing the assumptions in the home valuation survey and what is revealed within the conveyancing documents. My solicitor has advised that he must check that the bank is happy with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my lawyer’s approach legitimate?
Your conveyancer 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 both parties.
We are getting the release of further monies on our mortgage from Principality as we want to carry out renovations to our house in Flint Mountain. Do we need to choose a nearby Flint Mountain solicitor on the Principality conveyancing panel to deal with the paperwork?

It would be wise to instigate your search sooner rather than later. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their contact information on to the EA. Given that you are taking out a mortgage with RBS, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the RBS conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.

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 Flint Mountain conveyancer is on the Santander conveyancing panel.

I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and found one close by in Flint Mountain I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, however it only has 51 remaining years left on the lease.

Should you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be problematic. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my basement flat in Flint Mountain. Conveyancing has not commenced, however I have recently had a quarterly service charge invoice – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should discharge the service charge as usual as all ground rent and maintenance charges should be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
