The Harton conveyancing firm handling our Harton conveyancing has uncovered an inconsistency when comparing the surveyor’s assumptions in the valuation survey and what is in the title deeds. My lawyer has advised that he must check that the bank is OK with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my solicitor’s stance right?
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.
What does a local search inform me about the property my wife and I purchasing in Harton?
Harton conveyancing often starts with the submitting local authority searches directly from your local Authority or via a personal search company for instance Xpress Legal The local search is essential in every Harton conveyancing purchase; as long as you wish to avoid any nasty once you have moved into your property. The search should provide information on, amongst other things, details on planning applications relevant to the property (whether granted or refused), building control history, any enforcement action, restrictions on permitted development, nearby road schemes, contaminated land and radon gas; in all a total of thirteen subject sections.
I purchased my apartment on 3 May and the transaction details are still not registered. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Harton said it will be recorded in less than a month. Are properties in Harton particularly slow to register?
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Harton registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can differ subject to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry need to notify any other parties. At present roughly 80% of such applications are fully addressed within two weeks but occasionally there can be longer delays. Registration is effected once the buyer is living at the property so 'speed' is not usually top priority yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.

My conveyancers in Harton have advised me that no longer have my conveyancing file. To assist with my purchase I took out a mortgage with the mortgage company. Is it case that being on the bank conveyancing panel they need to have retained the file for a number of years?
It very much depends from lender to lender but many of the Terms and Conditions of Conveyancing Panel Appointment require the file to be held for a period of 6 years. That being said we have not seen a copy of the lender Conveyancing Panel Terms. It might be worth you contacting the bank directly.
