My Bredon lawyer has identified an inconsistency when comparing the surveyor’s assumptions in the home valuation survey and what is in the title deeds. My solicitor informs me that he is duty bound to ensure that the bank is happy with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my solicitor’s course or action appropriate?
Your solicitor 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.
My flat in Bredon is up for sale and I have accepted an offer. Does my property lawyer have to be on the Aldermore conveyancing panel in order to deal with repayment of my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Aldermore conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their panel criteria fairly frequently in recent years.

Can you help - my lawyer advises that defective lease insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Bredon conveyancing?
The right level of defective lease indemnity insurance depends on your lender. It would differ for example between Yorkshire Building Society and Coventry Building Society. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to borrowers take out such policies.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Coventry BS. I assume I don't need a Bredon conveyancer on the Coventry BS panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Coventry BS mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Coventry BS mortgage from the register. Coventry BS, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Coventry BS has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Coventry BS has instructed the Land Registry to do so

We are midway through purchasing a property in Bredon. Conveyancing lawyer has phoned to say the property is "Leasehold". Will this likely make a difference on our HSBC valuation?
Bredon conveyancing does not in most situations involve leasehold houses. The main factor here is the remaining lease term and the ground rent. If it's 999 years with a peppercorn rent, it's virtually freehold, so it shouldn't impact the marketability significantly.
On the flip side, if it's, say, Sixty years it is bound to have a significant impact on the saleability, and most likely wouldn't be acceptable to the bank. The remaining lease term and ground rent will be set out in the lease to be supplied to your property lawyer.
