The Grangetown conveyancing firm handling our Grangetown conveyancing has uncovered a difference between the surveyor’s assumptions in the home valuation survey and what is in the legal papers for the property. My solicitor informs me that he is obliged to ensure that the bank is OK with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my lawyer’s stance appropriate?
Your property lawyer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements 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.

I am assisting my mother sell her flat in Grangetown. Will the conveyancing solicitor arrange an EPC or should I organise this?
Following the abolition of HIPs, energy assessments remained a mandatory part of selling a property. An EPC must be commissioned in advance of the property being placed on the market. This is not something that law firms ordinarily arrange. If you are using a Grangetown conveyancing solicitor they might be able to arrange energy performance certificates due to their contacts with long established local providers
Is it correct that all Grangetown CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Skipton conveyancing list of approved firms?
A selection of banks and building societies now use CQS as the starting point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander. The Law Society’s CQS accreditation however is no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. That being said,the CML have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitor practices wishing to remain on their approved list of conveyancing solicitors.
Can I be sure that the Grangetown conveyancing solicitor on the Santander panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Grangetown obtaining recommendations is a sensible start. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one which is cheap as chips. We would always recommend that you speak with the lawyer handling your conveyancing.

The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Please confirm the Lease plans are surveyor prepared. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease.
