Our Brynmawr solicitor has uncovered a discrepancy when comparing the surveyor’s assumptions in the home valuation survey and what is in the conveyancing documents.

I have called into my local Brynmawr bank branch on a couple of occasions and was told it does not affect the mortgage offer and they would lend. My Brynmawr conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they would not lend based on their published requirements. I have no idea who is right.
Provided that the property lawyer is on the bank panel, she or he must comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook specifications for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase.
