The Helston conveyancing firm handling our Helston conveyancing has discovered a discrepancy between the assumptions in the valuation report and what is in the conveyancing documents. My solicitor informs me that he needs to ensure that the lender is happy with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my conveyancer’s stance appropriate?
Your conveyancing practitioner 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 you.

What is the difference between a licensed conveyancer and conveyancing solicitor in Helston
There are many registered licenced Conveyancers in Helston and Solicitor partnerships in Helston who can help with your conveyancing We would stress that both are regulated professionals specialising in the legal work in transferring property. They may both also handle other property legal work such as remortgage conveyancing, enfranchisement and transfer of equity conveyancing.
I am due to exchange contracts on my house. I had a double glazing fitted in February 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Nationwide are being pedantic. The Helston solicitor who is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Nationwide are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Nationwide have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Nationwide have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Nationwide may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
What does a local search reveal regarding the house I am purchasing in Helston?
Helston conveyancing often commences with the ordering local authority searches directly from your local Authority or through a personal search organisations for example Xpress Legal The local search is essential in every Helston conveyancing purchase; that is if you wish to avoid any nasty surprises after you move into your property. The search should reveal information on, amongst other things, details on planning applications applicable to the premises (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.
The deeds to my house can not be found. The lawyers who did the conveyancing in Helston 10 years ago have long since closed. What are my options?
These day there are duplicates made of almost everything, and your lawyer should know precisely where to locate all the suitable paperwork so you can purchase or sell your property without a hitch. Where copies are not available, your solicitor may be able to arrange cover in the form of insurance or indemnities against future claims on the premises.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one near me in Helston I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 51 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Helston in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you can request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
