My Padstow solicitor has uncovered a discrepancy when comparing the information in the home valuation report and what is revealed within the title deeds. My solicitor says that he needs to ensure that the lender is happy with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my solicitor’s approach correct?
Your conveyancer 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.
What is the first thing I need to know about purchase conveyancing in Padstow?
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Padstow and elsewhere in England and Wales is often a confrontational process. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there is an abundance of opportunity for confrontation between you and other parties involved in the ownership transfer. For example, the vendor, selling agent and on occasion a lender. Choosing a solicitor for your conveyancing in Padstow should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY person in the process whose role it is to protect your legal interests and to protect you.
There is a distinct creep in the "blame" culture- someone has to be blamed for the process being so protracted. We recommend that you should always trust your solicitor ahead of the other players in the home moving process.

I am intending to sublet my leasehold apartment in Padstow. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask her. Do I need to ask my freeholder for their consent?
Even though your last Padstow conveyancing solicitor is not available you can review your lease to see if it allows you to sublet the property. The accepted inference is that if the lease is silent, subletting is permitted. Quite often there is a prerequisite that you need to obtain permission via your landlord or other appropriate person prior to subletting. This means you not allowed to sublet without prior permission. The consent is not allowed to be unreasonably refused ore delayed. If your lease prohibits you from subletting the property you will need to ask your landlord if they are willing to waive this restriction.
