The Snettisham conveyancing firm handling our Snettisham conveyancing has identified a difference between the assumptions in the valuation survey and what is revealed within the title deeds. My lawyer has advised that he must ensure that the lender is happy with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my solicitor’s approach 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.
Are the Snettisham conveyancing solicitors identified as being on the TSB conveyancing panel, together with their details provided by TSB?

My Solicitor in Snettisham is not on the Barclays Approved Panel. Can I still use my family solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the Barclays panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?
Your options are as follows:
- Complete the purchase with your preferred Snettisham solicitors but Barclays will need to use a lawyer on their panel. This will inevitably rack up the overall legal fees as well as result in delays.
- Get a new practitioner to act in the conveyancing, not forgetting to check they are Barclays approved.
- Try to convince your Barclays solicitor to seek to join the Barclays panel

I've read lots of house buying guides, I note that they all recommend that you should get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Snettisham solicitor - who is on the HSBC conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. Is that normal?
HSBC will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually HSBC will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your property lawyer will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Snettisham postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with HSBC, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Snettisham.
