The Blackwood conveyancing firm handling our Blackwood conveyancing has spotted an inconsistency between the assumptions in the valuation report and what is in the legal papers for the property. My solicitor has advised that he needs to check that the bank is happy with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my conveyancer’s approach appropriate?

Your conveyancer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions 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.

It has been 3 months following my purchase conveyancing in Blackwood took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £215,000. Why the discrepancy?

The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the property from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
