The Burslem conveyancing firm handling our Burslem conveyancing has discovered a difference when comparing the information in the home valuation report and what is in the conveyancing documents. My solicitor has advised that he must ensure that the lender is OK with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my conveyancer’s course or action appropriate?
Your property lawyer 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 you.

Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unseasoned as FTB of a two bedroom flat in Burslem. Do I receive the keys to the property on completion from my conveyancer? If so, I will appoint a local conveyancing solicitor in Burslem?
On the day of completion you will not be required to attend the conveyancers office in Burslem. Your solicitors will electronically transfer the completion advance to the seller's lawyers, and once they have received this, you should be called to receive the keys from the selling Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this happens early afternoon.
I am aiming to move home in June. Will my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you suggest a removal company in Burslem. Conveyancing solicitor was found prior to coming across your website.
On the day of completion you can collect the house keys from your selling agent however this should only happen when the vendors solicitors inform the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be released. You will need to tell the removal company that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a particular removal company but can assist you in finding a residential property solicitor in Burslem or a firm that specialises in conveyancing in Burslem.
Planning on purchasing a apartment in Burslem. 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 Kent Reliance 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 Burslem property lawyer is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel.
How does conveyancing in Burslem differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Burslem contact us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is ready to move into. This is because house builders in Burslem tend to purchase the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Burslem or who has acted in the same development.
