My Leighton Buzzard solicitor has spotted a discrepancy between the information in the home valuation survey and what is in the conveyancing documents. My solicitor informs me that he is obliged to ensure that the lender is happy with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my solicitor’s stance right?

Your solicitor 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 both parties.

Are the Leighton Buzzard conveyancing solicitors identified as being on the Nottingham conveyancing panel, together with their details provided by Nottingham?

Leighton Buzzard conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Nottingham conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Nottingham directly.

I happen to be the single beneficiary of my late father’s estate and I have everything in my name alone, including the house in Leighton Buzzard. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in February. I plan to dispose of the property. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', meaning my property ownership could be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the property in February. Will no one buy the property for half a year?

The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook mandates solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you might be impacted by that. How practical a view lenders take of it, depend on the lender as this obligation principally exists to pick up on subsales or the quick reselling of properties.

We expect to receive a OIP from Clydesdale this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Clydesdale recommend any Leighton Buzzard solicitors on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?

You will need to appoint Leighton Buzzard solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Clydesdale through the process.

Planning on purchasing a house in Leighton Buzzard. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Leighton Buzzard conveyancing practitioner is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel.

Should I be suspicious that brokers that I am dealing with are recommending a factory type conveyancing firm rather than a local Leighton Buzzard conveyancing firm?

As is the case with many professional services, often suggestions from connections can be very helpful. But there are many players in a conveyancing transaction; estate agents, financial adviser and lenders might all put forward solicitors to retain. Sometimes these lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but sometimes there exists a financial incentive behind the endorsement. You have the right to choose your own conveyancer. You need to be aware that the majority of banks operate an approved list of lawyers you have to use for the lender aspect of your transaction.

I need to retain a conveyancing solicitor for some conveyancing in Leighton Buzzard. I have land on a site which looks to be the ideal offering If there is a chance to get all this stuff done via email that would be preferable. Should I be concerned? What are the potential pitfalls?

As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
