The Great Wyrley conveyancing firm handling our Great Wyrley conveyancing has identified a discrepancy between the information in the home valuation report and what is revealed within the title deeds. My lawyer has advised that he is obliged to ensure that the lender is OK with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my conveyancer’s approach correct?
Your solicitor must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications 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.
It is is a decade since I acquired my house in Great Wyrley. Conveyancing solicitors have recently been instructed on the sale but I am unable to locate my deeds. Is this a problem?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly the deeds may be kept by your mortgage company or they may still be with the solicitor who acted in your purchase. Secondly in most cases the title will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers obtaining current official copies of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Great Wyrley relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is unregistered it is more of a problem but is not insurmountable.

I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and found one near me in Great Wyrley I like with amenity areas and station nearby, the downside is that it's only got 61 years on the lease. There is not much else in Great Wyrley 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 require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be an issue. 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 premises for a minimum of 2 years you can request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
