Our Barlaston and Tittensor solicitor has spotted an inconsistency between the information in the valuation survey and what is revealed within the title deeds. My lawyer informs me that he needs to check that the bank is OK with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my conveyancer’s course or action appropriate?
Your conveyancer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications 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.
