My Chiseldon conveyancer has identified a discrepancy between the surveyor’s assumptions in the home valuation report and what is revealed within the legal papers for the property. My lawyer informs me that he needs to ensure that the lender is OK with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my lawyer’s course or action correct?
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 both parties.

It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their panel criteria fairly frequently in recent years.
