The Poringland conveyancing firm handling our Poringland conveyancing has discovered a difference when comparing the assumptions in the home valuation report and what is revealed within the title deeds. My solicitor informs me that he must ensure that the lender is OK with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my solicitor’s stance right?
Your lawyer 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 both parties.
I happen to be the only recipient of my late father’s will and I have everything in my name now, including the my former home in Poringland. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in March. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a CML 6 month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship may be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the property in March. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The CML handbook mandates conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you might be impacted by that. Some lenders would take a pragmatic view as this provision is chiefly there to identify subsales or the flipping of properties.

I have instructed a Poringland property lawyer having checked that they are on the RBS conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
RBS will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually RBS will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Poringland surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Poringland is the location of the property. Can you offer any opinion?
Flying freeholds in Poringland are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Poringland you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Poringland may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.

The prefered form of lease arrangement is if the freehold title is in the ownership of the leaseholders. In this arrangement the tenants have being in charge if their destiny and although a managing agent is usually retained if the building is larger than a house conversion, the managing agent retained by the leaseholders. Best to be warned whether window replacement or some other significant cost is coming up to be shared between the leasehold owners and will dramatically impact the level of the maintenance charges or result in a specific invoice. Are there any major works in the near future that could increase the service fees?
