Our Harton solicitor has uncovered a discrepancy when comparing the information in the valuation survey and what is in the title deeds. My solicitor has advised that he is duty bound to ensure that the bank is happy with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my solicitor’s course or action appropriate?
Your conveyancing practitioner must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications 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.

I am planning to move home in April. Will my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the completion day. As an aside, can you recommend a removal company in Harton. Conveyancing lawyer was organised prior to coming across this site.
On the day of completion you will need to collect the house keys from the estate agent however this should only be done after the vendors conveyancers confirm to the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be passed over. After that you will need to advise the removal men that they can start moving you in. We are not in a position to suggest a particular removal organisation but can help you find a conveyancing in Harton or a solicitor with expertise in conveyancing in Harton.
After what seems like an age I have had an offer on an apartment in Harton agreed to, the vendors do however have a dependent purchase. The vendors have placed an offer on a property, however it’s not yet tied up, and have viewings of other flats in the pipeline. I have instructed a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Harton. What should be my next step? When do I get the mortgage application with Kent Reliance going?
It is usual to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses prematurely (mortgage application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then valuation, Harton conveyancing search costs, etc). First, you must check that your solicitor is on the Kent Reliance approved list. As to the next phase this very much depends on the circumstances of your case, desire for this property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market many buyers will apply for a home loan with Kent Reliance and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their property lawyer to proceed with searches.
