The Newquay conveyancing firm handling our Newquay conveyancing has discovered an inconsistency between the surveyor’s assumptions in the valuation report and what is in the conveyancing documents. My solicitor says that he is duty bound to ensure that the bank is happy with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my lawyer’s stance right?
Your conveyancing practitioner must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications 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.

Its becoming the norm that commercial conveyancing solicitors in Newquay will carry out a SiteSolutions Highways report as it dramatically cuts the time that conveyancers spend in investigating accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Newquay.

For each commercial conveyancing transaction in Newquay it is critical to investigate the adoption status of roads surrounding a site.

These searches are not conducted for residential conveyancing in Newquay.
I am purchasing a new build house in Newquay with the aid of help to buy. The sellers refused to move on the amount so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The house builders rep told me not reveal to my lawyer about the extras as it could jeopardize my loan with Virgin Money. Is this normal?.
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.
Should I instruct a Newquay conveyancing solicitor in close proximity to the house I am hoping to buy? We have a good friend who can perform the legal work however her office is a couple of hundredkilometers away.
The primary upside of using a high street Newquay conveyancing practice is that you can visit the firm to sign paperwork, present your identification documents and apply pressure on them where appropriate. They will also have local insight which is a bonus. That being said it's more important to get someone that will do a good and efficient job. If you know people who instructed your friend and on the whole were happy that must trump using an unknown Newquay conveyancing lawyer just because they are Newquay based.
My lawyers in Newquay have advised me that no longer have my conveyancing file. At the time of my purchase I took out a mortgage with the lender. Is it case that being on the bank conveyancing panel they need to have retained the file for a prescribed period?
Different lenders have different requirements but many of the Terms and Conditions of Conveyancing Panel Appointment require the file to be held for a period of 6 years. That being said we have not seen a copy of the bank Conveyancing Panel Terms. It might be worth you contacting the mortgage company directly.
