Our Ilford conveyancer has discovered an inconsistency when comparing the assumptions in the home valuation report and what is in the conveyancing documents. My lawyer says that he is duty bound to check that the bank is OK with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my solicitor’s course or action appropriate?

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 you.

In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Ilford? Why is this being asked of me?

Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules require solicitors and licensed conveyancers to check the identity of the potential client they are dealing with before they can accept their conveyancing instruction. The Client Care letter that you are required to sign should confirm this. Your lawyer also has obligations to obtain certain documents in accordance with the CML Lenders Handbook requirements last updated on 1st December 2014. If you refuse to supply ID verification documents, your solicitor would not be able to accept instructions from you.

Should our solicitor be raising questions regarding flooding during the conveyancing in Ilford.

Flooding is a growing risk for conveyancers carrying out conveyancing in Ilford. Plenty of people will buy a property in Ilford, fully aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, adequate insurance cover, or dispose of the premises. There are steps that can be taken as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.

Conveyancers are not qualified to offer advice on flood risk, but there are a numerous searches that may be carried out by the purchaser or by their lawyers which can figure out the risks in Ilford. The standard information given to a buyer’s conveyancer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) incorporates a usual inquiry of the seller to find out whether the premises has ever been flooded. If the premises has been flooded in past and is not revealed by the owner, then a purchaser may issue a compensation claim resulting from an misleading response. A purchaser’s conveyancers will also carry out an environmental report. This will disclose whether there is any known flood risk. If so, additional inquiries will need to be conducted.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £235,500 and found one near me in Ilford I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 51 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Ilford suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?

If you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you could ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
