Much to our surprise we have been advised by our IFA that my Almondsbury the law firm I have appointed is not on the bank Solicitor panel. How can I be sure that this is correct?
The first thing you need to do is to contact your Almondsbury lawyer directly. You lawyer should inform you of the situation. Where they are not on the panel they may recommend you to a Almondsbury conveyancing firm that is on the approved list of lawyers for your mortgage company.
The Almondsbury conveyancing firm handling our Almondsbury conveyancing has discovered a difference between the surveyor’s assumptions in the valuation survey and what is in the legal papers for the property. My solicitor has advised that he is duty bound to ensure that the bank is happy with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my conveyancer’s course or action appropriate?
Your lawyer 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 you.

How does conveyancing in Almondsbury differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Almondsbury come to us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is constructed. This is because builders in Almondsbury typically purchase the real estate, 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 used to new build conveyancing in Almondsbury or who has acted in the same development.
