The Newbury Park conveyancing firm handling our Newbury Park conveyancing has discovered a discrepancy when comparing the information in the home valuation report and what is revealed within the title deeds. My lawyer informs me that he must ensure that the bank is happy with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my lawyer’s course or action legitimate?
Your solicitor 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. 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.

Your conveyancer will check the deeds as conveyancing in Newbury Park can on occasion reveal restrictions in the title deeds which prohibit certain works or need the permission of another owner.

After weeks of negotiation I have agreed a price on an apartment in Newbury Park. My financial adviser recommended their conveyancers. I paid an on account payment of £225. A few days later, the property lawyer contacted me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Aldermore panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
Planning on purchasing a maisonette in Newbury Park. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the TSB conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Newbury Park solicitor is on the TSB conveyancing panel.

I have just appointed agents to market my 2 bed flat in Newbury Park. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed, but I have just received a yearly maintenance charge invoice – Do I pay up?
Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should clear the service charge as normal given that all ground rent and maintenance payments should be apportioned on completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
