My Littleborough conveyancer has spotted a discrepancy when comparing the assumptions in the home valuation survey and what is revealed within the title deeds. My lawyer informs me that he needs to ensure that the lender is happy with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my solicitor’s course or action right?
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 both parties.

My wife and I are in the process of looking at houses in Littleborough and I am now considering a potential offer. Is it too early to have a solicitor in place? I am planning to take a home loan with RBS.

I am due to exchange contracts on my house. I had a double glazing fitted in June 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Co-operative are being a right pain. The Littleborough solicitor who is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Co-operative are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Co-operative have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Co-operative have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Co-operative may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
