The Hedge End conveyancing firm handling our Hedge End conveyancing has discovered a difference between the surveyor’s assumptions in the home valuation survey and what is revealed within the conveyancing documents. My lawyer 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 approach right?
Your conveyancer 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.
As someone unfamiliar with the Hedge End conveyancing process what is the number one tip you can give me for the house moving process in Hedge End
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Hedge End and elsewhere in England and Wales is an adversarial process. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there exists lots of opportunity for confrontation between you and others involved in the ownership transfer. E.g., the vendor, property agent and on occasion your lender. Choosing a law firm for your conveyancing in Hedge End is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE party in the legal process whose responsibility is to act in your best interests and to keep you safe.
Sometimes a third party with a vested interest will attempt to persuade you that you should follow their advice. For instance, the estate agent may claim to be assisting by suggesting your lawyer is slow. Or your financial adviser may advise you to do take action that is contrary to your lawyers recommendation. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the conveyancing process.
