The Bromham conveyancing firm handling our Bromham conveyancing has uncovered a discrepancy when comparing the assumptions in the valuation report and what is revealed within the title deeds. My lawyer informs me that he needs to ensure that the lender is OK with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my conveyancer’s stance appropriate?
Your lawyer 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.

My wife and I own a renovated Edwardian property in Bromham. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Birmingham Midshires. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw a couple of entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold under the matching address. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
