Our Whitmore solicitor has discovered a difference between the information in the home valuation survey and what is in the title deeds. My solicitor has advised that he is duty bound to check that the bank is OK with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my lawyer’s approach appropriate?

How does conveyancing in Whitmore differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Whitmore approach us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because new home sellers in Whitmore usually buy 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 Whitmore or who has acted in the same development.
