The Sevenoaks conveyancing firm handling our Sevenoaks conveyancing has spotted a difference between the assumptions in the valuation report and what is revealed within the legal papers for the property. My lawyer informs me that he needs to ensure that the lender is OK with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my solicitor’s course or action appropriate?
Your conveyancer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions 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 am expecting a AIP from Virgin Money this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Virgin Money recommend any Sevenoaks solicitors on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Sevenoaks solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Virgin Money through the process.

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Sevenoaks. Before diving in I want to be sure as to the remaining lease term.
If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and 99.9% are in Sevenoaks - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be other concerns that need to be considered and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action placing reliance on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
