The Bestwood conveyancing firm handling our Bestwood conveyancing has spotted an inconsistency between the assumptions in the home valuation survey and what is revealed within the conveyancing documents. My solicitor says that he must ensure that the lender is happy with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my conveyancer’s course or action correct?
Your property lawyer 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.

My sealed bid on a detached house in Bestwood has been accepted, but there is a chain. The vendors have placed an offer on a property, however it’s not been accepted yet, and have viewings of other apartments booked. I have selected a local conveyancing solicitor in Bestwood. What should be my next step? At what point should I apply for the mortgage with Nationwide?
It is usual to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs prematurely (mortgage application is in the region of £1k, then survey, Bestwood conveyancing search costs, etc). First, you should check that your lawyer is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. Concerning the next stages this very much dictated by the circumstances of your case, motivation for this property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market many purchasers would apply for a home loan with Nationwide and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they request their property lawyer to move forward with the conveyancing in Bestwood.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Bestwood is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can give?
Flying freeholds in Bestwood are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Bestwood you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Bestwood may determine 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 premises.
