The Wilsden conveyancing firm handling our Wilsden conveyancing has discovered an inconsistency between the information in the home valuation report and what is revealed within the title deeds. My lawyer informs me that he needs to ensure that the lender is OK with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my solicitor’s approach right?

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.

Just bought a detached house in Wilsden , how long should it take for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing the transfer to my name? My Wilsden conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be sure the registration formalities are concluded.
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Wilsden registration formalities.

I am purchasing a new build house in Wilsden with a loan from Nationwide Building Society. The builders refused to reduce the price so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent suggested that I not reveal to my conveyancer about the deal as it will impact my loan with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
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.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Wilsden is where the house is located. Can you offer any advice?
Flying freeholds in Wilsden are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Wilsden you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Wilsden may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
Last November I purchased a leasehold flat in Wilsden. Am I liable to pay service charges for periods before completion of my purchase?
In a situation where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous owner and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. Strange as it may seem, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. A critical element of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to be sure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).
