My solicitor says that he must check that the lender is happy with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my solicitor’s stance appropriate?
Your conveyancing practitioner 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.

We own a leasehold flat in Dolwyddelan. Conveyancing was finished in 21012. I have been told that I should not let the lease length get too low. Is this correct?
Dolwyddelan leasehold properties are for a fixed term - usually just under one hundred years when they started. However a significant flats in Dolwyddelan were constructed or converted in the 70’s80’s and so these leases now have under 80 years left to run. That may sound like plenty of time however Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage lenders on the whole need leases to have at least seventy five years left to be mortgageable. Accordingly when you come to sell the property you will need to extend the term of your lease if you are getting close to eighty years. To maximise the marketability of your property you should be considering whether to extend your lease long before you come to sell it. There are also significant benefits to doing so before the lease hits eighty years as when the lease is below 80 years the amount you have to pay to extend starts to increase.
