My Rufford solicitor has discovered an inconsistency between the assumptions in the home valuation survey and what is revealed within the legal papers for the property. My solicitor says that he is duty bound to check that the bank is happy with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my lawyer’s approach 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.

Your property agent will wish to be informed of your lawyer's details (ensure that the conveyancing practitioners are on the lender’s approved list).

Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes about a fortnight to receive the mortgage offer. TSB will issue the offer to you and your conveyancing practitioners.

I have justbeen informed that Arc property Solicitors have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Rufford for a purchase of a freehold house 10 months ago. How can I establish that my home is not still registered in the name of the former proprietor?
The quickest method to see if the premises is in your name, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Rufford conveyancing specialists.
I am buying my first flat in Rufford with the aid of help to buy. The developers refused to reduce the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative suggested that I not disclose to my conveyancer about this side-deal as it may impact my mortgage with the lender. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
