I am not in a position to travel far from Bargoed. Please clarify why all Bargoed conveyancing practitioners aren't included on all mortgage company panels?
Even though it may seem unfair for banks to restrict who can represent them, from the public’s or lawyer’s perspective, the flip side is that lenders are increasingly anxious and feel it imperative to shield themselves against illegal activities. As a consequence of this concern banks are limiting their conveyancing panel to a size that they are happy to control.
Our Bargoed lawyer has spotted an inconsistency between the surveyor’s assumptions in the home valuation survey and what is revealed within the conveyancing documents. My lawyer says that he is duty bound to check that the bank is happy with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my solicitor’s approach legitimate?
Your lawyer 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.
