Our Timsbury conveyancer has identified a discrepancy when comparing the surveyor’s assumptions in the home valuation survey and what is revealed within the title deeds. My lawyer informs me that he is duty bound to check that the bank is happy with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my conveyancer’s stance right?
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 you.

We have been advised by numerous estate agents that it may take six to eight weeks for Timsbury conveyancing to complete.This was four weeks ago. The property information was only received from the vendors conveyancer last week so now does it countdown?
You should be realistic about timing. Moving home in Timsbury usually takes about ten weeks. This timeframe is not because property lawyer are slow and willfully delay matters. The amount of money involved in purchasing any property is so high, the purchaser's conveyancing practitioner needing to raise a wide range of enquiries, searches and other checks to protect the purchaser and their mortgage company (if there is to be a mortgage) from expensive, avoidable problems. Conveyancing in Timsbury involves obtaining information from various third parties, for example other conveyancing practitioner, local councils, private companies, building societies and banks. Some of these are efficient. Others aren't. Finally, no matter how quickly your conveyancer do their part, if the people you are purchasing from or are selling to aren't ready, nothing can move forward until they are.
