Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Chew Magna

The Chew Magna conveyancing firm handling our Chew Magna conveyancing has spotted a difference when comparing the surveyor’s assumptions in the home valuation report and what is in the legal papers for the property. My solicitor says that he needs to check that the bank is OK with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my lawyer’s stance appropriate?

Your solicitor 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.

When does exchange of contracts occur in purchase conveyancing in Chew Magna and do I need to attend the solicitors branch?

If you are round the corner to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Chew Magna you are welcome to attend to sign contracts. However, the law practices we recommend provide countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide as equally comprehensive and professional a job for you when dealing with you electronically. The executing of the sale agreement is not the critical part. A signed contract is necessary for the conveyancer to exchange contracts when the time is right, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The procedure is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a long "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Chew Magna)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

I was told two weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Yorkshire BS. Is it usual for Yorkshire BS to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Chew Magna is approved on their conveyancing panel? Yorkshire BS have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.
