The Rhoose conveyancing firm handling our Rhoose conveyancing has identified a discrepancy between the assumptions in the home valuation survey and what is in the conveyancing documents. My solicitor says that he is obliged to check that the bank is happy with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my lawyer’s stance legitimate?
Your solicitor 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 you.
I am aiming to move home in January. Should my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the day of completion. As an aside, can you suggest a removal company in Rhoose. Conveyancing solicitor was found before I stumbled across this website.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to collect the keys from the estate agent however this can only be done once the sellers lawyers inform the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be released. After that you should inform the removal men that you are ready to move in. We are not in a position to suggest a specific removal company but can assist you in locating a conveyancing in Rhoose or a firm that specialises in conveyancing in Rhoose.
is it true that all Rhoose solicitor practices on the UBS conveyancing panel are governed by the SRA?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the UBS conveyancing panel they would need to be regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. Some lenders do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel and in that case the practice would be overseen by the CLC.
I recently had an offer agreed on a house in Rhoose. My financial adviser suggested a conveyancing practitioner. I paid an advanced payment of £200. A few days later, the property lawyer called me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Kent Reliance panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

I am attracted to a two maisonettes in Rhoose both have in the region of 50 years remaining on the leases. Will this present a problem?
There are no two ways about it. A leasehold flat in Rhoose is a deteriorating asset as a result of the shortening lease. The closer the lease gets to zero years unexpired, the more it adversely affects the salability of the property. The majority of purchasers and mortgage companies, leases with under 75 years become less and less attractive. On a more positive note, leaseholders can extend their leases by serving a Section 42 Notice. One stipulation is that they must have owned the property for two years (unlike a Section 13 notice for purchasing the freehold, when leaseholders can participate from day one of ownership). When successful, they will have the right to an extension of 90 years to the current term and ground rent is effectively reduced to zero. Before moving forward with a purchase of a residence with a short lease term remaining you should talk to a solicitor specialising in lease extensions and leasehold enfranchisement. We are are happy to put you in touch with Rhoose conveyancing experts who will explain the options available to you during an initial telephone conversation free of charge. A more straightforward and quicker method of extending would be to contact your landlord directly and sound him out on the prospect of extending the lease. You may find he or she is happy to negotiate informally and willing to consider your offer straight off, without having to involve anyone else. This will save you time and money and it could help you reach a lower price on the lease. You need to ensure that any new terms represent good long-term value compared with the standard benefits of the Section 42 Notice and that onerous clauses are not inserted into any redrafting of the lease.
