My Kentish Town solicitor has uncovered an inconsistency between the information in the valuation survey and what is revealed within the legal papers for the property. My solicitor says that he is obliged to check that the bank is OK with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my solicitor’s stance correct?
Your conveyancer 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.

Have just purchased a probate house at auction in Kentish Town. Conveyancing is necessary. What is next?
Having for in every practical sense signed on the dotted line you now have to choose a conveyancing practitioner quickly as you are faced with a tight a drop dead date to complete the purchase. Every auction property will have an associated auction pack. This should include most,if not all of the documents that your solicitor requires. In the case of leasehold premises the auction pack should provide a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and associated conveyancing paperwork relating to a leasehold property. You need to hand this to the conveyancer working for you as soon as possible. You also need to ensure that you have funds in place to complete the transaction on the set completion date.
I am due to move home in December. Should my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you recommend a removal company in Kentish Town. Conveyancing solicitor was found prior to coming across this page.
On the afternoon of completion you can collect the keys from the selling agent but this can only take place after the sellers conveyancers advise the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be collected. After that you can inform the removal men that you are ready to move in. We do not recommend a specific removal company but can help you find a conveyancing in Kentish Town or a legal practice with expertise in conveyancing in Kentish Town.
We were going to get a OIP from UBS this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do UBS recommend any Kentish Town solicitors on the UBS conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Kentish Town solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the UBS conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and UBS through the process.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Kentish Town is the location of the property. Can you offer any advice?
Flying freeholds in Kentish Town are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Kentish Town 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 Kentish Town may ascertain 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.
