The West Haddon conveyancing firm handling our West Haddon conveyancing has discovered a difference when comparing the surveyor’s assumptions in the home valuation survey and what is in the conveyancing documents. My solicitor has advised that he is obliged to check that the lender is happy with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my solicitor’s stance right?

Your solicitor 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 both parties.

The West Haddon conveyancing lawyers that I appointed last week on my purchase in West Haddon have suddenly closed. I chose them because I needed a lawyer on the Skipton conveyancing panel and my preferred West Haddon lawyer was not. I gave my credit card details for them to take one hundred and fifty pounds for searches. What do I do now?

Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then let them know straight away so that they can let the sellers know that there may be a slight delay due to reasons beyond your control. Hopefully they will be sympathetic and urge their lawyer to send a new set of papers to your new solicitors. You will need to appoint new lawyers that are on the Skipton conveyancing panel and notify the lender. If you have paid over any money, it will hopefully be held by the SRA as money in an intervened firm's bank accounts is transferred to the SRA. Then, the SRA or the intervention agent looks at the intervened firm's accounts to work out who the money belongs to. To claim your money you will need to contact the SRA. If the SRA cannot return money you are owed from the firm's bank accounts, or if they can only return part of the money, you can apply to the Compensation Fund for a grant. Your new lawyers may be able to assist.

I happen to be the single beneficiary of my late father’s will and I have everything in my name now, including the house in West Haddon. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in December. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship may be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the house in December. Will no one buy the property for half a year?

The CML handbook instructs conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you might be affected by that. many banks would take a sensible view as this clause is principally there to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of properties.

My wife and I are in the throws of viewing flats in West Haddon and I am about to put in an offer. Is it premature to have a solicitor in place? I will be getting a home loan with Coventry BS.

After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their details on to the selling agent. Given that you are taking out a mortgage with Coventry BS, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel.

Planning on purchasing a apartment in West Haddon. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Leeds Building Society 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 West Haddon property lawyer is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel.

I require quick conveyancing in West Haddon as I have an ultimatum to complete within 4 weeks. A mortgage is not required. Can I escape the need for conveyancing searches to save money and time?

I decided to have a survey done on a house in West Haddon in advance of instructing lawyers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold element to the house. Our surveyor has said that some mortgage companies may refuse to give a mortgage on this type of home.

It varies from the lender to lender. HSBC has different instructions from Halifax. If you call us we can investigate further with the appropriate lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in West Haddon. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.
