Our Harringay solicitor has spotted an inconsistency between the surveyor’s assumptions in the valuation report and what is in the legal papers for the property. My lawyer says that he must check that the lender is OK with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my solicitor’s stance legitimate?
Your property 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 you.

The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease.
