The Kempsey conveyancing firm handling our Kempsey conveyancing has identified a discrepancy between the surveyor’s assumptions in the valuation survey and what is in the legal papers for the property. My lawyer informs me that he is obliged to check that the bank is OK with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my solicitor’s approach appropriate?
Your lawyer 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 you.
Will our conveyancer be asking questions regarding flooding during the conveyancing in Kempsey.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for solicitors carrying out conveyancing in Kempsey. Plenty of people will purchase a house in Kempsey, completely aware that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical destruction, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, adequate insurance cover, or dispose of the premises. Steps can be carried out during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the buyer.
Conveyancers are not qualified to impart advice on flood risk, but there are a number of checks that can be undertaken by the purchaser or by their conveyancers which should give them a better understanding of the risks in Kempsey. The conventional set of completed inquiry forms supplied to a buyer’s lawyer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) contains a usual question of the seller to discover if the property has historically flooded. In the event that flooding has previously occurred which is not notified by the vendor, then a purchaser may bring a compensation claim resulting from an inaccurate reply. A buyer’s conveyancers may also conduct an environmental report. This should disclose if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, additional investigations should be initiated.
I am purchasing a new build house in Kempsey with the aid of help to buy. The developers refused to move on the amount so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The house builders rep advised me not disclose to my conveyancer about this deal as it may put at risk my mortgage with the bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

Having checked my lease I have discovered that there are only 72 years unexpired on my lease in Kempsey. I am keen to get lease extension but my freeholder is absent. What are my options?
If you qualify, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the County Court for for permission to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will mean that your lease can be lengthened by the Court. However, you will be required to demonstrate that you or your lawyers have done all that could be expected to track down the lessor. For most situations a specialist would be helpful to conduct investigations and prepare a report which can be accepted by the court as evidence that the freeholder can not be located. It is wise to seek advice from a conveyancer both on devolving into the landlord’s disappearance and the application to the County Court overseeing Kempsey.
