Our Weldon conveyancer has discovered a discrepancy when comparing the surveyor’s assumptions in the valuation survey and what is in the title deeds. My lawyer says that he is obliged to check that the lender is happy with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my conveyancer’s stance right?
Your property lawyer 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.
At what point can the exchange of contracts happen for sale conveyancing in Weldon and am I required to attend the solicitors branch?
If you are in close proximity to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Weldon you are welcome to come in to sign contracts. However, the law practices we work with supply countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide as equally detailed and professional a job for you when dealing with you by post or email. The signing of the contract is not the critical part. A signed contract is just a prerequisite for the conveyancer to address the formalities at the suitable time, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The exchange process is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a long "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Weldon)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The bank mentioned the loan came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to appoint their panel lawyer as I would much rather instruct a high street conveyancing solicitor in Weldon?
You should check but the chances are that appoint one of their panel solicitors if you accept the "fee-free" offer. Contact the lender and determine if they offer you a monetary alternative. It is not unheard for a lender to give a £250 cashback as a further option in which case you could put that amount towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor in Weldon.
Just bought a terraced house in Weldon , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing my ownership? My Weldon conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to check that my purchase is registered.
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Weldon registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can adjust subject to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry communicate with any interested parties. As of today approximately 80% of submission are completed within two weeks but some can be subject to longer delays. Historically registration occurs after the new owner has moved in to the property so 'speed' is not always top priority yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor should contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.

Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. Please confirm the Lease plans are surveyor prepared. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore.
