Our Perivale lawyer has discovered a difference when comparing the information in the valuation survey and what is in the title deeds. My lawyer informs me that he is duty bound to check that the bank is OK with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my solicitor’s course or action appropriate?
Your lawyer 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.

I am employed by a reputable estate agency in Perivale where we have experienced a few flat sales derailed as a result of leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have been given inconsistent advice from local Perivale conveyancing solicitors. Could you shed some light as to whether the owner of a flat can start the lease extension process for the buyer?
Provided that the seller has been the owner for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the proposed purchaser need not have to sit tight for 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed prior to, or at the same time as completion of the disposal of the property.
An alternative approach is to agree the lease extension with the freeholder either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the purchaser.
My wife and I have hit a brick wall in negotiating a lease extension in Perivale. Can this matter be resolved via the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal?
if there is a absentee landlord or where there is disagreement about the premium for a lease extension, under the relevant legislation you can apply to the LVT to calculate the price.

I am buying a flat and cash is in place. I have provided conveyancer with two separate forms of photo identification, bank statement, multiple utility bills. Now he wants a copy from a probate lawyer advising that the money is in order and that it has come from inheritance and not dealing E's in Ibiza.
In today’s world you will not be able to complete any Perivale conveyancing transaction without first providing evidence of your identity to your lawyers. This usually takes the form of a either your passport or driving licence and a utility bill. Remember if you are providing your driving licence as evidence of ID it must be both the paper part and photo card part, one is not acceptable without the other. Establishing of your source of funds is required under Money Laundering Regulations.
