Our Chafford Hundred lawyer has identified an inconsistency between the assumptions in the valuation report and what is revealed within the title deeds. My lawyer says that he must ensure that the lender is happy with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my lawyer’s stance legitimate?
Your conveyancing practitioner 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.

For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
