The Bramley conveyancing firm handling our Bramley conveyancing has spotted an inconsistency between the information in the home valuation report and what is revealed within the conveyancing documents. My solicitor informs me that he needs to check that the bank is OK with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my lawyer’s approach legitimate?
Your property lawyer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements 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.

Planning on purchasing a maisonette in Bramley. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Bramley conveyancer is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel.
Skipton have agreed my mortgage in principle, my bid on a flat in Bramley has been agreed to, what happens next?
The estate agent will want to know who your solicitors are (ensure that the conveyancing practitioners are on the bank’s panel). Call up Skipton or the financial adviser and finish off any relevant forms. Skipton will appoint a valuer who will get in touch with the selling agent or owners to arrange an appointment. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes on average a week for the mortgage offer to be issued. Skipton will send the offer to you and your solicitors. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Bramley.
My offer on a house in Bramley has been accepted, but there is a chain. The owners have put an offer on on an apartment, but it’s not yet agreed to, and have viewings of other flats in the pipeline. I have instructed a local conveyancing solicitor in Bramley. What do I do now? When do I get the mortgage application with HSBC going?
It is normal to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (mortgage application is approx one thousand pounds, then survey, Bramley conveyancing search fees, etc). The first course of action is to check that your conveyancing practitioner is on the HSBC conveyancing panel. Regarding the next stages this very much depends on the specifics of your case, desire for this property and on the state of the market. In a hot market many home buyers would apply for a home loan with HSBC and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they request their solicitor to proceed with the conveyancing in Bramley.
Should our lawyer be asking questions concerning flooding during the conveyancing in Bramley.
Flooding is a growing risk for lawyers conducting conveyancing in Bramley. Some people will purchase a house in Bramley, completely expectant that at some time, it may be flooded. However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, satisfactory building insurance, or sell the property. There are steps that can be taken during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the purchaser.
Conveyancers are not qualified to offer advice on flood risk, however there are a number of searches that can be carried out by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which can figure out the risks in Bramley. The conventional set of information sent to a purchaser’s lawyer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) includes a usual question of the seller to discover whether the premises has suffered from flooding. In the event that flooding has previously occurred and is not revealed by the vendor, then a purchaser could issue a legal claim for losses stemming from an inaccurate reply. The buyer’s solicitors will also commission an environmental search. This should indicate whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, additional investigations should be carried out.
I have justbecome aware that Stirling Law have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Bramley for a purchase of a freehold house 10 months ago. How can I establish that the property is not still registered in the name of the previous owner?
The easiest way to check if the property is registered to you, 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 Bramley conveyancing specialists.
