My Armthorpe solicitor has spotted an inconsistency between the information in the home valuation report and what is revealed within the title deeds. My lawyer has advised that he needs to ensure that the bank is happy with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my conveyancer’s course or action legitimate?
Your conveyancing practitioner 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.

I am helping my mother sell her flat in Armthorpe. Will the solicitor order an energy performance certificate or should I organise this?

I am the sole beneficiary of my late father’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Armthorpe. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in November. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship could be treated the same way as if I'd bought the house in November. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The CML handbook obliges solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months."
