Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Sydenham

My Sydenham lawyer has uncovered a discrepancy when comparing the surveyor’s assumptions in the home valuation report and what is in the title deeds. My lawyer has advised that he must check that the bank is happy with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my solicitor’s course or action right?

Your property 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 you.

The fact that your lawyer is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no conveyancer should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.

Have purchased a a semi-detached house in Sydenham , how long will it take for the Land Registry to register my ownership? My Sydenham conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be certain that my name is registered.

As far as conveyancing in Sydenham registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timescales can adjust subject to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry communicate with any other parties. As of today roughly three quarters of submission are fully addressed within two weeks but occasionally there can be extensive delays. Historically registration takes place once the new owner has moved in to the premises so an expedited registration is not typically primary concern yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer must speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
