The Burnham conveyancing firm handling our Burnham conveyancing has uncovered a discrepancy between the surveyor’s assumptions in the valuation survey and what is in the legal papers for the property. My lawyer has advised that he is duty bound to check that the bank is happy with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my lawyer’s stance correct?
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 both parties.

As of today in the region of 80% of submission are fully addressed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to longer delays. Registration takes place once the new owner has moved in to the premises thus 'speed' is not typically primary concern but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer could contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
