Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Llantwit Major

Our Llantwit Major solicitor has discovered an inconsistency between the assumptions in the home valuation survey and what is in the title deeds. My solicitor says that he is obliged to check that the lender is happy with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my conveyancer’s stance right?

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 both parties.

My husband and I decided to purchase a newly converted apartment in Llantwit Major with a loan from Nationwide Building Society.We would like to retain our Llantwit Major conveyancing lawyer but Nationwide Building Society advised that she’s not listed on their "panel". We have to appoint a Nationwide Building Society panel firm or keep our local solicitor and fork out for a Nationwide Building Society panel lawyer to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?

No, not really. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its various provisions, one of which will be that lawyers will be on the Nationwide Building Society solicitor panel. Until recently, most mortgage companies had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Nationwide Building Society
