Our Tonyrefail conveyancer has discovered a discrepancy when comparing the surveyor’s assumptions in the valuation survey and what is in the title deeds. My solicitor says that he must check that the lender is happy with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my conveyancer’s stance correct?
Your conveyancer 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 both parties.
Various internet forums that I have come across warn that are the number one cause of delay in Tonyrefail conveyancing transactions. Is there any truth in this?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) published determinations of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure amongst the most frequent causes of delays during the legal transfer of property. Searches are not likely to be the root cause of slowing down conveyancing in Tonyrefail.
I am buying my first flat in Tonyrefail benefiting from help to buy. The sellers would not budge the amount so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The house builders rep advised me not reveal to my lawyer about the extras as it would adversely affect my mortgage with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.
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.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
Due to the guidance of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Tonyrefail in advance of instructing lawyers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. The surveyor advised that some mortgage companies will not grant a loan on this type of home.
It varies from the lender to lender. Lloyds has different requirements for example to Halifax. If you call us we can check via the relevant bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Tonyrefail. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Tonyrefail to see if the conveyancing will be more expensive.

Am I better off to instruct a Tonyrefail conveyancing solicitor who is local to the property I am purchasing? I have an old university friend who can carry out the legal work but her office is over three hundred kilometers drive away.
The primary upside of using a local Tonyrefail conveyancing firm is that you can drop in to sign paperwork, present your ID and apply pressure on them if necessary. Having local Tonyrefail know how is a bonus. However nothing is more important than finding someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If other friends have instructed your friend and on the whole were happy that must trump using an unknown Tonyrefail conveyancing lawyer just because they are Tonyrefail based.
