Our Long Hanborough solicitor has uncovered a discrepancy between the assumptions in the home valuation report and what is in the title deeds. My solicitor says that he needs to ensure that the bank is happy with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my conveyancer’s course or action right?

Your conveyancer 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.

In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Long Hanborough? What am I being asked for?

Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering regulations require solicitors and licensed conveyancers to check the identity of the person or body they are dealing with before they can accept their conveyancing retainer. The Terms of Engagement that you need to sign should reaffirm this. Your lender will also require certain documents to be viewed. If you are unwilling to supply ID verification documents, your lawyer will not be able to take you on as a client.

What does a local search reveal regarding the house my wife and I buying in Long Hanborough?

Long Hanborough conveyancing often starts with the applying for local authority searches directly from your local Authority or through a personal search company such as Searchflow The local search is essential in every Long Hanborough conveyancing purchase; as long as you don’t want any unpleasant once you have moved into your property. The search will provide information on, amongst other things, details on planning applications applicable to the premises (whether granted or refused), building control history, any enforcement action, restrictions on permitted development, nearby road schemes, contaminated land and radon gas; in all a total of thirteen topic areas.

I am purchasing my first flat in Long Hanborough with a mortgage from Nottingham Building Society. The developers would not budge the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The house builders rep told me not disclose to my solicitor about this deal as it could adversely affect my loan with the bank. Is this normal?.

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.

My lawyers in Long Hanborough 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 mortgage company Conveyancing Panel Terms. It might be worth you contacting the bank directly.
