My Sutton on Trent solicitor has discovered a difference between the surveyor’s assumptions in the home valuation report and what is in the title deeds. My lawyer informs me that he must ensure that the lender is OK with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my lawyer’s approach right?

I am buying a new build flat in Sutton on Trent. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.

Set out below are examples of a few leasehold new build questions that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Sutton on Trent

    Please supply a car parking plan. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Please confirm the Lease plans are architect prepared. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose?

We're new on the property ladder - had an offer accepted, yet the property agent advised that the vendor will only issue a contract if we appoint the agent's chosen conveyancers as they need a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family solicitor used to conveyancing in Sutton on Trent

We suspect that the owner is unaware of this request. If they require ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious purchaser is not the way to achieve this. Contact the sellers directly and make sure they understand (a)you are motivated purchasers (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you will continue to use your preferred Sutton on Trent conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will earn their estate agent a referral fee or meet his conveyancing figures set by senior management.
