My Edith Weston solicitor has discovered a difference when comparing the assumptions in the home valuation survey and what is in the legal papers for the property. My lawyer has advised that he needs to check that the lender is OK with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my conveyancer’s stance appropriate?
Your conveyancing practitioner must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions 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.
My Conveyancer in Edith Weston is not listed on the TSB Approved Panel. Can I still continue with my family solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the TSB panel?
The limited options open to you here include:
- Carry on with your preferred Edith Weston solicitors but TSB will need to instruct a lawyer on their list of acceptable firms. This will result in additional overall legal fees as well as cause delays.
- Find a new lawyer to act in the purchase, obviously checking they are TSB approved.
- Persuade your TSB based solicitor to attempt to join the TSB panel
How does conveyancing in Edith Weston differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Edith Weston come to us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because developers in Edith Weston tend to buy the land, 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 Edith Weston or who has acted in the same development.
