Our Cheddleton lawyer has spotted a discrepancy when comparing the information in the valuation survey and what is in the conveyancing documents. My solicitor says that he needs to ensure that the bank is happy with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my conveyancer’s course or action correct?
Your conveyancing practitioner 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 both parties.
Why do I have to pay up front when it comes to conveyancing in Cheddleton?

The final balance that is due should be transferred shortly before completion.

If you plan to re-mortgage then Skipton will require that you use a conveyancer on the Skipton conveyancing panel. Here is link to the Land Registry online guidance around what to do when a property owner dies. This will help you to understand the registration process behind changing the details re the registered title. in your case it would appear that you are effectively purchasing the property from the estate. Your Skipton conveyancing panel solicitor pays the new mortgage money into the estate, the estate pays off the old mortgage, the charge is released and you become the owner and the Skipton mortgage is registered as a charge at the Land Registry.

Assuming the lease is registered - and most are in Cheddleton - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties.
