Our Mirfield lawyer has discovered a difference between the assumptions in the home valuation report and what is in the legal papers for the property. My lawyer informs me that he is obliged to ensure that the lender is OK with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my conveyancer’s course or action correct?
Your property lawyer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements 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.

Do you have any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Mirfield from the perspective of expediting the sale process?
- Much of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Mirfield can be reduced where you get in touch lawyers the minute your agents start marketing the property and ask them to collate the leasehold documentation which will be required by the buyers’ representatives. If you have carried out any alterations to the premises would they have required Landlord’s consent? Have you, for example installed wooden flooring? Most leases in Mirfield state that internal structural alterations or laying down wooden flooring necessitate a licence from the Landlord consenting to such alterations. Where you fail to have the paperwork to hand you should not communicate with the landlord without checking with your solicitor before hand. A minority of Mirfield leases require Licence to Assign from the landlord. If this is the case, it would be prudent to place the estate agents on notice to make sure that the purchasers obtain bank and professional references. The bank reference will need to confirm that the buyers are financially capable of paying the yearly service charge and the actual amount of the service charge should be quoted in the bank’s letter. You will therefore need to provide your estate agents with the actual amount of the service charge so that they can pass this information on to the purchasers or their lawyers. If you hold a share in a the Management Company, you should ensure that you have the original share certificate. Obtaining a re-issued share certificate can be a time consuming formality and frustrates many a Mirfield home move. Where a duplicate share is needed, do contact the company director and secretary or managing agents (where applicable) for this as soon as possible.
