The Tiptree conveyancing firm handling our Tiptree conveyancing has spotted a discrepancy between the information in the valuation report and what is revealed within the conveyancing documents. My lawyer has advised that he is duty bound to check that the bank is happy with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my conveyancer’s course or action legitimate?
Your conveyancer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements 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.
This question may be naive but I am wet behind the ears as a first time buyer of a ground floor flat in Tiptree. Do I pick up the keys to the house on the completion date from my lawyer? If this is the case, I will use a local conveyancing solicitor in Tiptree?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will electronically transfer the purchase money to the seller's lawyers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be able to pick up the keys from the property Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen early afternoon.
We are purchasing a victorian detached house in Tiptree. We would like to carry out a loft conversion at the property.Will legal due diligence on the property involve enquiries to determine if these alterations are prohibited?
Your solicitor will review the deeds as conveyancing in Tiptree can sometimes identify restrictions in the title deeds which restrict categories of works or require the consent of another owner. Certain additions need local authority planning permissions and approval in compliance with building regulations. Some areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or affect extensions. You should check these issues with a surveyor prior to committing yourself to a purchase.
About to purchase maisonette in Tiptree. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Tiptree conveyancing practitioner is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel.

We're new on the property ladder - agreed a price, but the estate agent advised that the owners will only issue a contract if we instruct their preferred conveyancers as they want an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a local solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Tiptree
We suspect that the owner is not behind this demand. If they want ‘a quick sale', turning down a genuine buyer is not the way to achieve this. Contact the owners directly and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you are going to appoint your own,trusted Tiptree conveyancing lawyers - as opposed tothe ones that will earn their estate agent a commission or meet his conveyancing figures pre-set by HQ.
Developers have suggested I use a property lawyer and I've sought a quote from them. It's nearly £400 less expensive than my preferred Tiptree lawyer. Should I use them?
Developers frequently have panels of property lawyers who are quick and who know the developer’s paperwork and property lawyer. Plenty of developers offer an incentive to use their approved solicitor for this reason, any increased cost can be avoided and a builder will not recommend a conveyancing warehouse and run the risk of having the transaction delayed when they require an exchange inside a month. The argument for not agreeing to use the suggested lawyer is that they may prove hesitant to fight for your interests for fear of upsetting the housebuilder. If you worry that this may be the situation you should remain with your local Tiptree lawyer.
