The Taplow conveyancing firm handling our Taplow conveyancing has spotted a difference when comparing the information in the valuation survey and what is revealed within the legal papers for the property. My solicitor informs me that he must ensure that the bank is happy with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my lawyer’s approach right?
Your lawyer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications 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.
What happens if my solicitor is suspended from the Santander Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Taplow?
First, this is a very rare occurrence. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit for a fee.
My bid for a property was accepted at auction in Taplow. Conveyancing is needed. What happens now?
Given that you have now legally committed yourself to purchase you should hire the services of a conveyancing practitioner quickly as you now have a fast approaching deadline in which to complete the purchase. All auction property will have an associated auction set of papers. This will likely include the copy title deeds, local authority and drainage searches. Where you are dealing with leasehold property the auction pack may contain a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and other conveyancing paperwork relating to leasehold premises. You must pass this on to your appointed conveyancing solicitor at the earliest opportunity. You also need to ensure that you have funds in order to complete on the on the contractual date .
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am wet behind the ears as FTB of a garden flat in Taplow. Do I receive the keys to the premises on completion from my lawyer? If so, I will instruct a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Taplow?
On the day of completion you do not need to go to the conveyancers office in Taplow. Conveyancing lawyers for you will electronically transfer the completion advance to the owner’s lawyers, and once they have received this, you will be able to receive the keys from the property Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.
I have paid off my mortgage with UBS. I assume I don't need a Taplow property lawyer on the UBS panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your UBS mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the UBS mortgage from the register. UBS, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where UBS has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- UBS has instructed the Land Registry to do so
Due to the advice of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Taplow before appointing solicitors. I have been told that there is a flying freehold element to the house. The surveyor advised that some mortgage companies tend refuse to grant a loan on such a home.

If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Taplow. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.
Am I right to be concerned by brokers that I am dealing with are recommending a web based conveyancing firm as opposed to a High Street Taplow conveyancing company?
As is the case with many professional services, often input from connections can be worth their weight in gold. Nevertheless there are many people with a vested interest in a conveyancing transaction; estate agents, mortgage brokers and banks might all suggest conveyancers to select. Sometimes these solicitors might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but occasionally there behind the scenes financial incentive behind the recommendation. You are at liberty to choose your own lawyer. Don't forget that many mortgage providers specify a panel list of solicitors you are obliged to use for the lender related work in your house move.
