It has taken forever and a day but a mortgage agreement from Nationwide for the refinancing of my 4 room flat is coming imminently. Can you suggest a cheap conveyancing practitioner in South Ockendon?

Our goal is to offer affordable conveyancing but we do not work with the cheapest lawyers. Avoid the trap of appointing brokers offering ninety nine pound conveyancing in South Ockendon.

My South Ockendon lawyer has uncovered a difference when comparing the surveyor’s assumptions in the valuation survey and what is revealed within the title deeds.

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.

It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same illness)
