My Eynsham solicitor has uncovered a discrepancy when comparing the information in the valuation report and what is in the conveyancing documents. My solicitor has advised that he is duty bound to check that the bank is OK with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my conveyancer’s stance correct?
Your lawyer 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 you.

I recently had an offer accepted on a house in Eynsham. My financial adviser recommended their conveyancers. I paid an advanced payment of £225. A few days later, the conveyancing practitioner contacted me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Yorkshire BS panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
RBS have agreed my mortgage in principle, my bid on a property in Eynsham has been agreed to, now what?
Your property agent will want to be advised as to your solicitor's details (be sure the lawyers are on the bank’s panel). Contact RBS or your broker and complete any relevant paperwork. RBS will appoint a valuer who will get in contact with the selling agent or seller to schedule an appointment. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes approximately ten days to receive the mortgage offer. RBS will issue the offer to you and your conveyancing practitioners. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Eynsham.
I'm buying a new build house in Eynsham with the aid of help to buy. The builders refused to budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The house builders rep advised me not reveal to my solicitor about the deal as it will impact my mortgage with Nottingham Building Society. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
