The Barmouth conveyancing firm handling our Barmouth conveyancing has discovered a discrepancy between the surveyor’s assumptions in the valuation survey and what is revealed within the conveyancing documents. My solicitor informs me that he is duty bound to ensure that the lender is OK with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my conveyancer’s approach right?
