The Woodingdean conveyancing firm handling our Woodingdean conveyancing has uncovered a discrepancy when comparing the surveyor’s assumptions in the valuation survey and what is revealed within the conveyancing documents. My solicitor says that he must ensure that the lender is OK with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my solicitor’s approach appropriate?
Your property lawyer 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.
This question may be naive but I am new to the process as a 1st time buyer of a garden flat in Woodingdean. Do I receive the keys to the premises on completion from my conveyancer? If this is the case, I will appoint a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Woodingdean?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will arrange to send the purchase money to the owner’s solicitors, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be called to receive the keys from the selling Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this happens between 1 and 3pm.
I am due to move house in April. Does my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the day of completion. On a separate note, can you put forward a removal company in Woodingdean. Conveyancing firm was chosen prior to coming across this website.
On the afternoon of completion you can pick up the keys from the property agent however this can only occur once the sellers lawyers advise the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be released. You can advise the removal men that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a specific removal organisation but can assist you in finding a conveyancing in Woodingdean or a lawyer that specialises in conveyancing in Woodingdean.
Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with RBS. Woodingdean conveyancing practitioners have been instructed. How long does it take for RBS to send the offer to the lawyer?
There is no definitive answer here. Have RBS conducted the valuation? Have you informed RBS as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the RBS conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
I am selling our home in Woodingdean and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. A local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers used a nationwide conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Woodingdean. Having lived in Woodingdean for six years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to seek clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. What do they say? You need to check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same illness)
