My lawyer informs me that he must check that the lender is OK with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my conveyancer’s course or action legitimate?

Your conveyancing practitioner must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook provisions 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.

we are a couple who intend to purchase a 3 bedroom apartment in Bacup with a residential mortgage from Accord Mortgages Ltd.We use our Bacup conveyancing solicitor but Accord Mortgages Ltd informed us her practice is not listed on their "panel". It seems we have little choice but to instruct a Accord Mortgages Ltd panel lawyer or retain our preferred solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?

Unfortunately,no. The home loan offered to you is subject to its various provisions, one of which will be that conveyancers needs to be on the Accord Mortgages Ltd approved list. Until recently, most mortgage companies had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Accord Mortgages Ltd
