The Mundesley conveyancing firm handling our Mundesley conveyancing has identified an inconsistency between the assumptions in the valuation report and what is revealed within the conveyancing documents. My lawyer says that he is duty bound to ensure that the bank is OK with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my lawyer’s course or action correct?
Your property lawyer 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 you.

Intending to buy a house in Mundesley. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Mundesley conveyancer is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel.

Do I need this when buying a residence in Mundesley? or I am told that there is a law dating back centuries that could mean that homeowners living in a parish church boundary may be liable to contribute towards repairs to the chancel in proximity to the church. Is this suitable for conveyancing in Mundesley?
Unless a previous purchase of the house took place post 12 October 2013 you can expect lawyers conducting conveyancing in Mundesley to remain encouraging a chancel search and or chancel repair liability policy.
I'm purchasing my first flat in Mundesley with the aid of help to buy. The developers refused to budge the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The house builders rep told me not inform my lawyer about the deal as it could put at risk my mortgage with the lender. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

I work for a long established estate agent office in Mundesley where we have witnessed a few leasehold sales derailed due to leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have been given inconsistent advice from local Mundesley conveyancing firms. Could you clarify whether the vendor of a flat can start the lease extension process for the purchaser on completion of the sale?
Provided that the seller has been the owner for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. The benefit of this is that the proposed purchaser need not have to sit tight for 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done before, or at the same time as completion of the disposal of the property.
An alternative approach is to agree the lease extension with the freeholder either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the purchaser.
