The Madeley conveyancing firm handling our Madeley conveyancing has identified an inconsistency between the information in the valuation report and what is revealed within the title deeds. My solicitor says that he is duty bound to check that the bank is OK with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my solicitor’s course or action appropriate?
Your conveyancing practitioner 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.

How does conveyancing in Madeley differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Madeley approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is built. This is because developers in Madeley typically buy the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Madeley or who has acted in the same development.
Do I need to be concerned about third parties that I am dealing with are encouraging me to use a web based conveyancing firm rather than a local Madeley conveyancing company?
As is the case with lots of service providers, often recommendations from family and friends can be most helpful. But there are lots of players in a conveyancing matter; estate agents, mortgage brokers and mortgage companies might all recommend lawyers to choose. Sometimes the conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but occasionally there exists a commercial relationship behind the recommendation. You have the discretion to select your preferred lawyer. Don't forget that many mortgage providers have an approved list of conveyancers you have to use for the lender aspect of your house move.
We're FTB’s - agreed a price, but the agent advised that the vendor will only issue a contract if we use their preferred conveyancers as they want a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a high street conveyancer who is familiar with conveyancing in Madeley
It is highly unlikely the vendors are behind this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a motivated purchaser is likely to cause more damage than good. Speak to the vendors direct and explain that (a)you are motivated purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you are going to appoint your preferred Madeley conveyancing lawyers - rather thanthe ones that will give the estate agent a referral fee or meet his conveyancing figures pre-set by corporate headquarters.
