The Mundesley conveyancing firm handling our Mundesley conveyancing has discovered a difference between the information in the home valuation report and what is revealed within the legal papers for the property. My lawyer says that he is obliged to ensure that the bank is happy with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my lawyer’s approach legitimate?
Your 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.

We're in Mundesley, FTBs purchasing with a mortgage (lender is Kent Reliance , and our lawyer is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not.

We have agreed to purchase a house in Mundesley. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Virgin Money have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
Given that your lender is Virgin Money your lawyer must comply with the formal requirements contained in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Virgin Money. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook stipulates minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to Virgin Money where a lease fails to comply with these conditions. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not isolated to Mundesley.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one near me in Mundesley I like with amenity areas and station nearby, however it only has 51 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Mundesley for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
Should you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this.
