The Leyburn conveyancing firm handling our Leyburn conveyancing has identified a discrepancy when comparing the assumptions in the valuation report and what is in the legal papers for the property. My lawyer informs me that he is duty bound to check that the bank is OK with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my conveyancer’s course or action correct?
Your conveyancer 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.

The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. Please confirm the Lease plans are architect prepared. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. 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. Please supply a car parking plan.

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my basement flat in Leyburn. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, however I have recently had a quarterly maintenance charge invoice – what should I do?
It best that you pay the service charge as normal as all rents and maintenance invoices will be apportioned on completion, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.

Who is in charge of the block? The answer will be important as a) areas may cause problems in the block as the communal areas may begin to deteriorate if repairs are not paid for b) if the leaseholders have an issue with the running of the building you will want to have full disclosure Generally speaking the outlay for major works are not included within service charges, albeit that some managing agents in Leyburn obliged tenants to contribute towards a reserve fund created for the specific intention of building a fund for major works.
My lawyers in Leyburn have advised me that they can not locate my conveyancing file. To assist with my purchase I took out a mortgage with the lender. Is it case that being on the bank conveyancing panel they need to have retained the file for a prescribed period?
Different lenders have different requirements but many of the Terms and Conditions of Conveyancing Panel Appointment require the file to be held for a period of 6 years. That being said we have not seen a copy of the lender Conveyancing Panel Terms. It might be worth you contacting the mortgage company directly.
