The Hailsham conveyancing firm handling our Hailsham conveyancing has spotted a discrepancy when comparing the assumptions in the home valuation survey and what is in the title deeds. My lawyer informs me that he is obliged to check that the lender is happy with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my solicitor’s approach right?

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.
