My Allendale solicitor has spotted an inconsistency between the information in the valuation report and what is in the legal papers for the property. My solicitor says that he needs to check that the bank is OK with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my solicitor’s approach right?
Your solicitor must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook provisions 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.
Why do I have to pay up front when it comes to conveyancing in Allendale?
If you are buying a property in Allendale your lawyer will ask you put them with monies to cover the search fees. This will be the total of the cost of the Local Authority Search. When the deposit is as part of the purchase price then this should be required shortly ahead of exchange of contracts. The final balance that is due should be sent to your lawyer a few days ahead of the completion date.
We wanted to use a property lawyer in Allendale for our house purchase. Our financial adviser informed us that our bank Accord Mortgages Ltd won't deal with them. Why is this not regarded as unduly restrictive?
A bank will insist on an approved solicitor act for it. You would be liable to bear the cost of this. Try using our directory service to find a solicitor to conduct conveyancing in Allendale on the Accord Mortgages Ltd approved list of solicitors.
I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and found one round the corner in Allendale I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Allendale for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be an issue. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you can request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
