The Ranmoor conveyancing firm handling our Ranmoor conveyancing has uncovered an inconsistency when comparing the surveyor’s assumptions in the home valuation report and what is revealed within the conveyancing documents. My solicitor has advised that he needs to ensure that the bank is happy with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my lawyer’s stance legitimate?
Your solicitor 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.
Finally the sale completed on my house in Ranmoor last March yet the purchaser is texting me to moan that their solicitor needs to hear from mine. What should my lawyer have done now that I have sold?
Post completion of your disposal your solicitor should send the transfer documentation and all additional paperwork to the purchaser's lawyers. Depending on the transaction, your conveyancer should also send confirmation that the legal charge in favour of the lender has been repaid to the buyers lawyers. There are no post completion tasks unique to conveyancing in Ranmoor.
I have been told that property searches are a common cause of stalling in Ranmoor conveyancing transactions. Is that correct?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) published findings of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature amongst the most frequent causes of hindrances during the legal transfer of property. Searches are unlikely to feature in any holding up conveyancing in Ranmoor.

I today plan to offer on a house that seems to tick a lot of boxes, at a great price which is making it all the more appealing. I have just found out that it's a leasehold as opposed to freehold.
