My Wolston lawyer has discovered an inconsistency when comparing the assumptions in the home valuation survey and what is revealed within the legal papers for the property. My lawyer says that he needs to ensure that the bank is happy with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my lawyer’s course or action appropriate?
Your solicitor must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook provisions 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.
As someone not used to the Wolston conveyancing process what’s the number one tip you can impart for the legal transfer of property in Wolston
Not many law firms shout this from the rooftops but conveyancing in Wolston or throughout Warwickshire is often a confrontational process. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there is an abundance of room for friction between you and other parties involved in the home moving process. E.g., the seller, selling agent and on occasion a lender. Choosing a law firm for your conveyancing in Wolston an important selection as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE person in the transaction whose interest is to act in your legal interests and to keep you safe.
Sometimes a third party with a vested interest may attempt to convince you that you should follow their advice. For instance, the property agent may claim to be helping by claiming that your solicitor is dragging his heels. Or your financial adviser may advise you to do take action that is against your lawyers guidance. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.

I currently have a mortgage with Nationwide for my property in Wolston. Conveyancing has been completed a year ago. If I am intending to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Nationwide?
You must advise Nationwide in advance of letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Nationwide’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Nationwide 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 Nationwide directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Nationwide conveyancing panel lawyer.
How does conveyancing in Wolston differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Wolston come to us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because developers in Wolston tend to purchase the real estate, 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 property lawyers 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Wolston or who has acted in the same development.
