The Telford conveyancing firm handling our Telford conveyancing has identified an inconsistency between the information in the home valuation survey and what is revealed within the conveyancing documents. My lawyer informs me that he is obliged to ensure that the lender is OK with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my lawyer’s approach legitimate?
Your solicitor must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook provisions 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 you.
My flat in Telford is up for sale and I have a buyer. Will my conveyancer need to be required to be on the UBS conveyancing panel in order to deal with the discharge of my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the UBS conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their panel criteria fairly frequently in recent years.
