Our Emerson Park lawyer has spotted a difference between the surveyor’s assumptions in the home valuation report and what is revealed within the title deeds. My lawyer has advised that he is obliged to ensure that the bank is OK with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my conveyancer’s stance legitimate?
Your solicitor 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.

A lease is a right to use the premises for a prescribed time frame. As a lease shortens the value of the lease deteriorates and it becomes more expensive to extend the lease. This is why it is often a good idea to increase the term of the lease. Sometimes it is difficult to sell a property with a short lease as mortgage lenders less inclined to grant a loan on such properties. Lease enfranchisement can be a difficult process. We recommend you get professional assistance from a conveyancer and surveyor with experience in this arena.
