The Coventry conveyancing firm handling our Coventry conveyancing has spotted an inconsistency between the surveyor’s assumptions in the home valuation survey and what is revealed within the title deeds. My lawyer has advised that he is obliged to check that the lender is happy with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my lawyer’s stance correct?
Your lawyer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements 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.

Where you are using a Coventry conveyancing solicitor they may be able to arrange EPC’s due to their relationships with long established local providers
