My Northop Hall lawyer has spotted a difference between the assumptions in the home valuation survey and what is in the legal papers for the property. My lawyer informs me that he is obliged to ensure that the lender is happy with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my lawyer’s stance appropriate?
Your solicitor must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions 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.
What does a local search reveal about the house my wife and I buying in Northop Hall?
Northop Hall conveyancing often starts with the ordering local authority searches directly from your local Authority or via a personal search company for instance PSG The local search plays an important role in many a Northop Hall conveyancing purchase; that is if you don’t want any nasty once you have moved into your new home. The search should supply information on, amongst other things, details on planning applications applicable to the premises (whether granted or refused), building control history, any enforcement action, restrictions on permitted development, nearby road schemes, contaminated land and radon gas; in all a total of 13 subject headings.
It has been 4 months following my purchase conveyancing in Northop Hall completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the property from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
How does conveyancing in Northop Hall differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Northop Hall contact us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is built. This is because builders in Northop Hall usually purchase the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Northop Hall or who has acted in the same development.

Jane (my partner) and I may need to let out our Northop Hall 1st floor flat temporarily due to taking a sabbatical. We instructed a Northop Hall conveyancing firm in 2002 but they have closed and we did not have the foresight to seek any guidance as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?
A small minority of properties in Northop Hall do contain a provision to say that subletting is only allowed with permission. The landlord is not entitled to unreasonably refuse but, in such cases, they would need to see references. Experience dictates that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting consent.
