Our Coalville lawyer has discovered a difference between the assumptions in the home valuation report and what is in the conveyancing documents. My lawyer informs me that he needs to ensure that the lender is OK with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my conveyancer’s course or action legitimate?
Your 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 both parties.
This question may be naive but I am wet behind the ears as a first time buyer of a garden flat in Coalville. Do I receive the keys to the house on the completion date from my solicitor? If this is the case, I will use a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Coalville?
On the day of completion you will not be required to go to the conveyancers office in Coalville. Your solicitors will transfer the completion advance to the seller's conveyancers, and once they have received this, you will be able to collect the keys from the selling Agents and move into your new home. Usually this occurs between 1 and 3pm.
My partner and I are in the throws of looking at apartments in Coalville and I am now considering a potential offer. Is it too early to have a solicitor in place? I intend to finance via a home loan with Nationwide.
It would be sensible to commence your search sooner rather than later. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their contact information on to the estate agent. As you are taking out a mortgage with Nationwide, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel.
I have paid off my mortgage with UBS. I assume I don't need a Coalville lawyer on the UBS panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your UBS mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the UBS mortgage from the register. UBS, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where UBS has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- UBS has instructed the Land Registry to do so
Will my conveyancer be asking questions about flooding during the conveyancing in Coalville.
Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors carrying out conveyancing in Coalville. There are those who purchase a house in Coalville, fully aware that at some time, it may be flooded.

There are steps that can be taken as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.
Conveyancers are not best placed to offer advice on flood risk, however there are a numerous searches that may be initiated by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which will give them a better understanding of the risks in Coalville. The conventional set of information given to a purchaser’s conveyancer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) incorporates a standard question of the seller to discover if the premises has suffered from flooding. In the event that the residence has been flooded in past which is not notified by the vendor, then a purchaser could bring a compensation claim as a result of such an misleading reply. The buyer’s conveyancers may also carry out an enviro report. This will indicate whether there is any known flood risk. If so, further inquiries should be initiated.
The deeds to my home are lost. The conveyancers who did the conveyancing in Coalville 5 years ago have long since closed. What are my next steps?

Where copies are not available, your solicitor can put in place insurance or indemnities protecting you against future claims on the property.
