The Wolviston conveyancing firm handling our Wolviston conveyancing has identified a discrepancy when comparing the information in the valuation report and what is revealed within the conveyancing documents. My solicitor has advised that he must ensure that the lender is happy with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my solicitor’s course or action appropriate?
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 you.
I am aiming to move home in May. Should my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the day of completion. On a separate note, can you recommend a removal company in Wolviston. Conveyancing solicitor was organised before I stumbled across your page.
On the day of completion you will need to pick up the house keys from the selling agent however this should only occur once the vendors conveyancers advise the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be handed over. You can advise the removal company that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a particular removal company but can help you locate a residential property solicitor in Wolviston or a solicitor that specialises in conveyancing in Wolviston.
I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Wolviston off the council. I have a mortgage offer with Skipton. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Skipton, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Skipton conveyancing panel.
I have a mortgage with HSBC for my property in Wolviston. Conveyancing was finalised some time ago. Should I wish to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform HSBC?
Your original mortgage agreement with HSBC will provide that you need their approval in advance of renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of HSBC’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact HSBC directly. You need not do this via a HSBC conveyancing panel firm.
Should our solicitor be raising questions regarding flooding during the conveyancing in Wolviston.
Flooding is a growing risk for lawyers dealing with homes in Wolviston. Plenty of people will buy a property in Wolviston, completely expectant that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, adequate building insurance, or sell the property. Steps can be carried out during the course of a property purchase to forewarn the purchaser.
Conveyancers are not qualified to give advice on flood risk, but there are a numerous searches that may be initiated by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which can figure out the risks in Wolviston. The standard completed inquiry forms sent to a buyer’s conveyancer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) incorporates a usual inquiry of the vendor to discover whether the property has historically flooded. In the event that flooding has previously occurred and is not disclosed by the seller, then a purchaser may commence a legal claim for losses as a result of such an misleading answer. The purchaser’s conveyancers will also conduct an environmental search. This will reveal whether there is any known flood risk. If so, further inquiries should be conducted.
The deeds to our home can not be found. The conveyancers who did the conveyancing in Wolviston 4 years ago have long since closed. What do I do?

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Wolviston is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Wolviston are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Wolviston you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Wolviston may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
