My Westcliff On Sea lawyer has discovered a difference 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 duty bound to ensure that the lender is happy with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my solicitor’s course or action right?
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 both parties.
we are a couple who are buying a newbuild flat in Westcliff On Sea with a homeloan from Platform Home Loans Ltd.We like our Westcliff On Sea conveyancing lawyer but Platform Home Loans Ltd informed us she’s not on their approved list of member firms. we are left little option but to use a Platform Home Loans Ltd panel solicitor or retain our preferred solicitor and fork out for one of their panel ones to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that Platform Home Loans Ltd use our lawyer?
No, not really. The home loan offered to you contains terms and conditions, one of which will be that solicitors must be on the Platform Home Loans Ltd solicitor panel. in the past, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Platform Home Loans Ltd

The mortgage over my property is with Co-operative for my property in Westcliff On Sea. Conveyancing was finalised some time ago. Should I wish to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Co-operative?
Co-operative must be informed of your intention before letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Co-operative’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Co-operative will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Co-operative directly. You need not do this via a Co-operative conveyancing panel lawyer.
