The Torpoint conveyancing firm handling our Torpoint conveyancing has discovered an inconsistency when comparing the assumptions in the valuation report and what is revealed within the conveyancing documents. My solicitor has advised that he must ensure that the bank is happy with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my conveyancer’s course or action legitimate?
Your conveyancing practitioner 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.

four months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Torpoint took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £170,000. 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 property 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.
How does conveyancing in Torpoint differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Torpoint come to us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is completed. This is because house builders in Torpoint tend to buy the land, 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 conveyancers 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 used to new build conveyancing in Torpoint or who has acted in the same development.
