The Horfield conveyancing firm handling our Horfield conveyancing has identified a difference when comparing the assumptions in the valuation survey and what is in the legal papers for the property. My lawyer has advised that he is obliged to check that the lender is OK with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my conveyancer’s course or action right?
Your conveyancing practitioner 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.
How does conveyancing in Horfield differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Horfield contact us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is constructed. This is because house builders in Horfield tend to purchase 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 conveyancers 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 Horfield or who has acted in the same development.

My husband and I are FTB’s - agreed a price, but the selling agent told us that the owners will only move forward if we use the agent's chosen conveyancers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a local conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Horfield
It is highly unlikely the vendors are behind this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious buyer is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Speak to the vendors direct and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you are going to instruct your own,trusted Horfield conveyancing lawyers - rather thanthose that will give the negotiator at the agency a commission or achieve conveyancing thresholds demanded by head office.
