The Marazion conveyancing firm handling our Marazion conveyancing has spotted an inconsistency when comparing the information in the home valuation survey and what is revealed within the legal papers for the property. My solicitor has advised that he needs to check that the lender is happy with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my conveyancer’s approach appropriate?
Your property lawyer 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.

Will our solicitor be asking questions about flooding as part of the conveyancing in Marazion.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for solicitors dealing with homes in Marazion. Some people will buy a house in Marazion, fully aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, leaving to one side 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. There are steps that can be taken as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.
Solicitors are not best placed to impart advice on flood risk, however there are a various searches that may be undertaken by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which can give them a better appreciation of the risks in Marazion. The standard property information forms sent to a buyer’s conveyancer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) incorporates a standard inquiry of the owner to find out whether the property has suffered from flooding. If the property has been flooded in past which is not notified by the vendor, then a purchaser may commence a legal claim for losses resulting from an incorrect reply. A purchaser’s solicitors may also conduct an environmental report. This should reveal whether there is any known flood risk. If so, more detailed inquiries will need to be carried out.
