My Heckmondwike lawyer has uncovered an inconsistency between the surveyor’s assumptions in the home valuation survey and what is revealed within the conveyancing documents. My lawyer informs me that he needs to check that the lender is happy with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my conveyancer’s stance right?
