The Goole conveyancing firm handling our Goole conveyancing has identified a discrepancy when comparing the information in the home valuation survey and what is revealed within the conveyancing documents. My lawyer has advised that he must check that the lender is happy with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my lawyer’s stance correct?
Your 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 both parties.

How does conveyancing in Goole differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Goole approach us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because builders in Goole usually buy the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Goole or who has acted in the same development.
