The Resolven conveyancing firm handling our Resolven conveyancing has spotted a difference when comparing the information in the valuation survey and what is in the conveyancing documents. My lawyer says that he must check that the bank is OK with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my lawyer’s approach right?
Your solicitor must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements 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.

How does conveyancing in Resolven differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Resolven come to us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because developers in Resolven usually acquire the real estate, 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 used to new build conveyancing in Resolven or who has acted in the same development.
I am looking for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Resolven I like with a park and railway links nearby, however it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Resolven in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be an issue. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you could request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
