The North Somerset conveyancing firm handling our North Somerset conveyancing has uncovered an inconsistency when comparing the surveyor’s assumptions in the home valuation survey and what is in the conveyancing documents. My lawyer has advised that he is obliged to check that the lender is happy with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my conveyancer’s approach appropriate?
Your conveyancer 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.
The North Somerset conveyancing lawyers that I appointed last week on my house acquisition in North Somerset have suddenly shut down. I only went with them because I had to have a firm on the Principality conveyancing panel and my family North Somerset lawyer was not. I gave my credit card details for them to take one hundred and fifty pounds for searches. What are my options?
Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then let them know immediately so that they can let the sellers know that there may be a slight delay due to reasons beyond your control. Hopefully they will be sympathetic and urge their lawyer to send a new set of papers to your new solicitors. You will need to appoint new lawyers that are on the Principality conveyancing panel and notify the lender. If you have paid over any money, it will hopefully be held by the SRA as money in an intervened firm's bank accounts is transferred to the SRA. Then, the SRA or the intervention agent looks at the intervened firm's accounts to work out who the money belongs to. To claim your money you will need to contact the SRA. If the SRA cannot return money you are owed from the firm's bank accounts, or if they can only return part of the money, you can apply to the Compensation Fund for a grant. Your new lawyers should be in a position to assist.
Should commercial conveyancing searches reveal planned roadworks that may affect a commercial property in North Somerset?
Many commercial conveyancing solicitors in North Somerset will conduct a SiteSolutions Highways report as it reduces the time that conveyancers invest in sourcing accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in North Somerset.

For each commercial conveyancing transaction in North Somerset it is crucial to investigate the adoption status of roads surrounding a site. The absence of identifying developments where adoption procedures have not been dealt with adequately could cause delays to North Somerset commercial conveyancing deals as well as pose a risk to future intentions for the site. These searches are not ordered for residential conveyancing in North Somerset.
It has been four months since my purchase conveyancing in North Somerset took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the premises from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
