The Friern Barnet conveyancing firm handling our Friern Barnet conveyancing has discovered an inconsistency between the assumptions in the home valuation survey and what is revealed within the conveyancing documents. My lawyer has advised that he must ensure that the lender is OK with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my solicitor’s approach appropriate?
Your solicitor 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.

How does conveyancing in Friern Barnet differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Friern Barnet come to us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because house builders in Friern Barnet tend to buy the land, 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 property lawyers 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 used to new build conveyancing in Friern Barnet or who has acted in the same development.
I am looking for a flat up to £245,000 and identified one close by in Friern Barnet I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 61 years on the lease. There is not much else in Friern Barnet suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a mortgage that many years may be problematic. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you can request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
