My Leven solicitor has uncovered an inconsistency when comparing the information in the valuation survey and what is in the legal papers for the property. My lawyer 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 solicitor 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 Leven? Is this really warranted?
It is indeed that case that the requirement set out by your solicitor has nothing to do with conveyancing in Leven. However these days you will not be able to proceed with any conveyancing transaction in the absence submitting evidence of your identity. This usually takes the form of a either your passport or driving licence and a utility bill. Remember if you are providing your driving licence as proof of identification it needs to be both the paper element and photo card part, one is not satisfactory in the absence of the other.

Should my conveyancer be asking questions about flooding during the conveyancing in Leven.
Flooding is a growing risk for lawyers dealing with homes in Leven. Some people will acquire a house in Leven, fully expectant that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical destruction, if a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, suitable insurance cover, or sell the property. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the buyer.
Conveyancers are not qualified to impart advice on flood risk, but there are a numerous checks that may be initiated by the buyer or by their solicitors which can give them a better appreciation of the risks in Leven. The standard completed inquiry forms given to a purchaser’s conveyancer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) includes a standard question of the owner to find out whether the property has historically flooded. If flooding has previously occurred and is not notified by the owner, then a buyer could issue a claim for damages stemming from an inaccurate response. The buyer’s solicitors should also carry out an environmental search. This will indicate if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, further inquiries should be initiated.

The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme.

Leven conveyancing practices will be familiar with transacting homeson private. The property lawyer should investigate title to find any rights or liabilities. In many cases there is a residents association that residents make annual contributions to maintain the road. Where there is one, the road will likely be maintained and look better than council adopted.
