Our Wragby solicitor has identified a difference when comparing the surveyor’s assumptions in the valuation report and what is in the title deeds. My solicitor has advised that he is duty bound to check that the lender is OK with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my lawyer’s approach right?
Your conveyancing practitioner must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications 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.

Intending to buy a apartment in Wragby. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the UBS 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 Wragby solicitor is on the UBS conveyancing panel.
At last I have had an offer on a flat in Wragby accepted, but there is a chain. The vendors have placed an offer on a flat, but it’s not yet tied up, and are looking at other flats booked. I have chosen a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Wragby. What should be my next step? At what stage do I apply for the mortgage with Lloyds?
It is usual to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses prematurely (home loan application is approx one thousand pounds, then survey, Wragby conveyancing search charges, etc). The first course of action is to ensure that your solicitor is on the Lloyds approved list. Regarding the next stages this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your case, attraction to this property and on the state of the market. During a hot market the majority of home buyers would apply for a home loan with Lloyds and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they ask their lawyer to move forward with searches.
I have justdiscovered that Wolstenholmes have closed. They carried out my conveyancing in Wragby for a purchase of a freehold house 9 months ago. How can I check that the property is in my name in the name of the previous owner?
The easiest way to check if the property is registered to you, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Wragby conveyancing specialists.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Wragby is the location of the property. Can you offer any opinion?
Flying freeholds in Wragby are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Wragby you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Wragby may decide 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 residence.
