The Penistone conveyancing firm handling our Penistone conveyancing has discovered a difference between the information in the home valuation report and what is in the conveyancing documents. My lawyer informs me that he is obliged to ensure that the bank is OK with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my conveyancer’s approach correct?
Your conveyancer 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.

How does conveyancing in Penistone differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Penistone contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is built. This is because developers in Penistone typically buy the land, 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 conveyancers 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 Penistone or who has acted in the same development.

I am an executor of my recently deceased mother’s Will, with a bungalow in Penistone which is to be marketed. The house is unregistered at the Land Registry and I'm advised that many buyers solicitors will insist that it is completed before they'll move forward. What's the mechanism for this?
In the circumstances that you have set out it seems sensible to apply to register in the names of the personal representative(s) as named in the probate and in their capacity as PRs. The Land Registry’s online guidance explains how to register for the first time and what is required re the deeds and forms. You would need to include and official copy of the probate as well and complete the form FR1 to refer to the PRs as the applicant.
