Our Abridge lawyer has discovered a difference when comparing the information in the home valuation report and what is revealed within the title deeds. My lawyer has advised that he is obliged to ensure that the lender is happy with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my lawyer’s approach legitimate?

Your conveyancer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook provisions 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.

Completion is due on our sale of a £350,000 garden flat in Abridge next Thursday. The freeholder has quoted £408 for Certificate of Compliance, building insurance schedule and previous years service charge statements. Is the landlord entitled to charge exorbitant fees for a flat conveyance in Abridge?

Abridge conveyancing on leasehold maisonettes usually necessitates fees being raised by management companies :

    Completing pre-exchange enquiries Where consent is required before sale in Abridge Supplying insurance information Deeds of covenant upon sale Registering of the assignment of the change of lessee after a sale
Your conveyancer will have no control over the level of the charges for this information but the average costs for the information for Abridge leasehold premises is £350. For Abridge conveyancing transactions it is customary for the seller to pay for these costs. The landlord or their agents are under no legal obligation to answer such questions most will be willing to do so - albeit often at exorbitant prices where the fees bear little relation to the work involved. Unfortunately there is no law that requires fixed charges for administrative tasks. Neither is there any legal time frame by which they are required to supply the information.

We can't see why they should be. Most lawyer don't lend money. You should check that they are regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority, who set strict rules covering funds sitting in their bank.
