My Newark on Trent conveyancer has uncovered a difference between the information in the home valuation survey and what is revealed within the legal papers for the property. My lawyer has advised that he is obliged to check that the bank is happy with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my solicitor’s stance appropriate?
Your property lawyer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements 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.

How does conveyancing in Newark on Trent differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Newark on Trent contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is ready to move into. This is because builders in Newark on Trent typically acquire the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Newark on Trent or who has acted in the same development.
