My Harehills lawyer has uncovered an inconsistency between the assumptions in the home valuation report and what is revealed within the conveyancing documents. My solicitor informs me that he is obliged to check that the bank is happy with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my conveyancer’s approach legitimate?
Your lawyer 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.

On the day of completion you do not need to attend the conveyancers office in Harehills.

At last I have had an offer on an apartment in Harehills accepted, the owners do nevertheless have a dependent purchase.

At what point should I apply for the mortgage with Nottingham?
It is usual to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (home loan application is in the region of £1k, then survey, Harehills conveyancing search charges, etc). First, you must ensure that your conveyancer is on the Nottingham approved list. As to the next stages this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your case, desire for this property and on the state of the market. During a hot market the majority of purchasers will apply for the mortgage with Nottingham and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their conveyancing practitioner to press on with the conveyancing in Harehills.

If a Harehills property is co-owned and one of the owners dies, the name will not immediately be removed from the title deeds. It is not necessary to amend the title as in the event of a disposal your conveyancer would simply need to supply proof why the other owner is not included in the contract, ordinarily this takes the form of the probate documents.
With a view to making the sale conveyancing more straight forward for the sale of the property you may arrange to have the deceased person removed from the title by applying to HMLR with proof of the death. There is no fee from the Registry for this service.
