Our Ouston lawyer has uncovered a discrepancy when comparing the information in the valuation report and what is revealed within the title deeds. My solicitor informs me that he needs to check that the lender is OK with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my conveyancer’s course or action legitimate?
Your conveyancer 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.
Do lawyers ask for money on account for conveyancing in Ouston?
If you are buying a property in Ouston your solicitor will ask you place them with monies to cover the the cost of the conveyancing searches. This will be the total of the cost of the conveyancing searches. When the down payment is as part of the total price then this should be needed immediately before exchange of contracts. Any further balance that is needed should be transferred a few days ahead of the day of completion.
I have been on the look out for a flat up to £245,000 and identified one round the corner in Ouston I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, however it only has 52 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Ouston suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a home loan that many years will likely be problematic. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
