The Hunstanton conveyancing firm handling our Hunstanton conveyancing has discovered a difference between the assumptions in the valuation survey and what is in the title deeds. My solicitor says that he needs to check that the lender is OK with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my lawyer’s stance correct?
Your conveyancing practitioner 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.
Is there a reason why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Hunstanton costs more?
Hunstanton leasehold properties involve far more paperwork than a freehold purchase, and therefore takes more time to examine and advise upon.Conveyancing will involve the lease having to be checked which is usually a lengthy document, queries raised to ensure that the covenants and conditions have been observed. If it is a flat there will be a management company in existence and the accounts of this will need to be checked and enquiries raised to ensure it is operating efficiently and that all monies due have been paid by the Seller to the company and if not ensuring that money is paid up to date or the appropriate undertakings obtained.

Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Hunstanton. Before I set the wheels in motion I want to be sure as to the number of years remaining on the lease.
If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and most are in Hunstanton - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
