Our Coventry lawyer has identified an inconsistency between the surveyor’s assumptions in the home valuation report and what is in the title deeds. My solicitor says that he needs to ensure that the bank is OK with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my conveyancer’s approach right?
Your solicitor 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.

Have completed on a a semi-detached house in Coventry , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to record the transfer to my name? My Coventry conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be certain the land registry aspects are concluded.
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Coventry registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can differ according to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry need to notify any third persons or bodies. Currently in the region of 80% of such applications are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be extensive hold-ups. Registration is effected after the buyer is living at the premises thus 'speed' is not typically top priority but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor must contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
