My Tower Hill solicitor has discovered an inconsistency between the assumptions in the valuation report and what is revealed within the legal papers for the property. My lawyer informs me that he must check that the bank is happy with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my solicitor’s course or action right?
Your conveyancer 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.

How does conveyancing in Tower Hill differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Tower Hill come to us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is built. This is because builders in Tower Hill typically acquire the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Tower Hill or who has acted in the same development.

If other friends have instructed your friend and they were content that must outweigh using an unknown Tower Hill conveyancing lawyer just because they are round the corner.

Lending instructions to conveyancers from all mainstream lenders state that If the vendor is not legally represented the borrower's lawyers should check whether the mortgage company needs to be told so that a decision can be reached as to whether they are willing to proceed.
