My Rossendale solicitor has spotted a difference when comparing the information in the home valuation report and what is in the legal papers for the property. My solicitor says that he needs to check that the bank is happy with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my solicitor’s stance correct?
Your lawyer 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.
Do I find a Licenced Conveyancer or Solicitor for conveyancing in Rossendale?
There are two types of lawyers who can conduct conveyancing in Rossendale namely licenced conveyancers or solicitors. Both professionals handle conveyancing services that you need to complete the disposal or acquisition of property.

My wife and I are in the process of looking at houses in Rossendale and I am about to put in an offer. Is it sensible to have my conveyancer on ‘stand by’? I am planning to take a mortgage with Aldermore.
It would be sensible to commence your search sooner rather than later. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their contact information on to the selling agent. Given that you are getting a mortgage with Aldermore, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Aldermore conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
The mortgage over my property is with Nationwide for my property in Rossendale. Conveyancing has been completed 12 months ago. In the event that I decide to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Nationwide?
Your original mortgage agreement with Nationwide will provide that you need their approval prior to letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Nationwide’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Nationwide directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Nationwide conveyancing panel lawyer.
I am buying a new build flat in Rossendale. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build legal work.
Set out below is a sample of a few leasehold new build questions that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Rossendale
-
Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision.
Given that I will soon spend 450k on a garden flat in Rossendale I wish to talk to a lawyer regarding thetransaction before instructing the firm. Is this something that you can arrange?
This is something that we recommend - it is our preference to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you liaising with the conveyancer who will be doing your conveyancing in Rossendale.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - every client is unique individual, not a case reference. The practices that we put you in touch with believe that the figure you are provided with for your conveyancing in Rossendale should be the amount on the final invoice that you are charged.
I have just appointed agents to market my garden apartment in Rossendale. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed, however I have recently received a half-yearly service charge demand – Do I pay up?
Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should discharge the service charge as you normally would given that all rents and service invoices will be apportioned on completion, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
