Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Stocksfield

The Stocksfield conveyancing firm handling our Stocksfield conveyancing has identified an inconsistency when comparing the information in the home valuation report and what is revealed within the conveyancing documents. My lawyer informs me that he is obliged to check that the lender is OK with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my lawyer’s stance legitimate?

Your conveyancing practitioner 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.

Should my lawyer be making enquiries concerning flooding during the conveyancing in Stocksfield.

Flooding is a growing risk for conveyancers conducting conveyancing in Stocksfield.

However, aside from the physical destruction, if a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, adequate insurance cover, or dispose of the property. There are steps that can be taken as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.

The standard completed inquiry forms supplied to a buyer’s conveyancer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) incorporates a standard inquiry of the owner to determine if the premises has suffered from flooding. If flooding has previously occurred and is not revealed by the seller, then a buyer could bring a compensation claim as a result of such an incorrect answer. The purchaser’s lawyers may also order an enviro search. This should indicate whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, additional investigations should be carried out.

It has been 3 months since my purchase conveyancing in Stocksfield completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £215,000. Why the discrepancy?
