My Netherley lawyer has identified a difference between the assumptions in the home valuation survey and what is revealed within the legal papers for the property. My solicitor informs me that he is duty bound to check that the lender is OK with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my conveyancer’s stance legitimate?
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 you.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified during conveyancing in Netherley?

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Netherley. Before I set the wheels in motion I require certainty as to the remaining lease term.
Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and 99.9% are in Netherley - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

It is important to be aware if fixing the lift or some other significant cost is due shortly to be shared amongst the leasehold owners and could well materially impact the level of the maintenance fees or require a specific invoice. How many years are left on the lease? Where a Netherley lease has no more than 80 years it will impact the salability of the apartment. It is worth checking with your lender that they are content with remaining years on the lease. Leases with fewer than 80 years remaining means that you will probably need a lease extension sooner rather than later and it is worth discovering what this would cost. For most Netherleylease extensions you would need to own the premises for a couple of years in order to be eligible to exercise a lease extension.
