The Kimbolton conveyancing firm handling our Kimbolton conveyancing has discovered a discrepancy when comparing the surveyor’s assumptions in the home valuation survey and what is in the conveyancing documents. My solicitor says that he needs to ensure that the lender is OK with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my conveyancer’s course or action appropriate?

Your lawyer 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.

What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Kimbolton? What am I being asked for?

Under Money Laundering Regulations, property lawyers are required to validate not just the identity of conveyancing clients but also the origin of fund that they receive in respect of any matter. Refusal to disclose this will result in your lawyer terminating their relationship with you, as clearly this will cause a conflict between the set Regulations and a refusal to disclose.

If you have finished paying off your Co-operative mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Co-operative mortgage from the register. Co-operative, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:

  1. but are not moving to another property
  2. where Co-operative has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
  3. Co-operative has instructed the Land Registry to do so
The Land Registry will send you a letter confirming that your Co-operative mortgage has been paid off.

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

Mortgage companies tend not to not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for TSB to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the TSB conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

Me and my brother purchased a semi-detached Victorian property in Kimbolton. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and Accord Mortgages Ltd.
