The Whickham conveyancing firm handling our Whickham conveyancing has identified a discrepancy when comparing the surveyor’s assumptions in the valuation survey and what is revealed within the title deeds. My solicitor informs me that he needs to check that the bank is happy with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my conveyancer’s stance correct?
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.
Various online forums that I have come across warn that are a common cause of hinderance in Whickham house deals. Is there any truth in this?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) published determinations of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure within the top 10 causes of delays in the conveyancing process. Local searches are not likely to feature in any holding up conveyancing in Whickham.
I used Action Conveyancing a few years past for my conveyancing in Whickham. Now, I need the files but cannot find the solicitor. What do I do?

How does conveyancing in Whickham differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Whickham approach us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is ready to move into. This is because builders in Whickham 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 Whickham or who has acted in the same development.
