The Telford conveyancing firm handling our Telford conveyancing has discovered a difference between the surveyor’s assumptions in the home valuation report and what is revealed within the legal papers for the property. My solicitor says that he is duty bound to ensure that the bank is OK with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my solicitor’s course or action appropriate?
Your solicitor 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 both parties.

This question may be naive but I am unexperienced as a first time buyer of a ground floor flat in Telford. Do I collect the keys to the property on completion from my lawyer? If so, I will find a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Telford?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion.

Usually this occurs early afternoon.
I'm the single beneficiary of my late grandmother’s estate and I have everything in my name now, including the my former home in Telford. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in January. I want to move. I understand that there is a CML 6 month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship will be considered the same way as if I'd bought the property in January. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?
The CML handbook requires solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you might be caught by that. How practical a view banks take of it, depend on the bank as this clause primarily exists to capture subsales or the quick reselling of property.
I bought my house on 12 September and the transaction details are still not registered. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Telford said it should be concluded inside ten days. Are titles in Telford uniquely lengthy to register?
As far as conveyancing in Telford registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can adjust depending on who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry must send notices to any interested persons or bodies. Currently roughly three quarters of such applications are completed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be protracted delays. Registration takes place after the purchaser has moved in to the premises so an expedited registration is not always an essential issue but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
How does conveyancing in Telford differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Telford approach us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because new home sellers in Telford usually 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 property lawyers 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 Telford or who has acted in the same development.
