Our Bow Street conveyancer has identified a difference between the assumptions in the valuation survey and what is revealed within the title deeds. 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 lawyer’s course or action legitimate?

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 you.

As someone not used to the Bow Street conveyancing process what’s your top tip you can give me concerning the home moving process in Bow Street

You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Bow Street and elsewhere in Ceredigion is often a confrontational process. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there is plenty of room for confrontation between you and others involved in the legal transfer of property. E.g., the seller, selling agent and sometimes the bank. Appointing a law firm for your conveyancing in Bow Street is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY person in the legal process whose interest is to protect your legal interests and to keep you safe.

We are witnessing a distinct increase in the "blame" culture- someone must be blamed for the process being so protracted. You your first instinct should be to trust your conveyancer above the other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.

We are not in a position to recommend a particular removal company but can assist you in locating a residential property solicitor in Bow Street or a solicitor with expertise in conveyancing in Bow Street.

Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease.
