Our Henllys lawyer has uncovered a difference between the assumptions in the home valuation report and what is revealed within the legal papers for the property. My lawyer informs me that he needs to check that the lender is OK with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my solicitor’s stance right?
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 both parties.

My fiance and I are hoping to buy a 1 bedroom apartment in Henllys with a residential mortgage from Bank of Ireland.We like our Henllys conveyancing lawyer but Bank of Ireland says she’s not listed on their approved list of firms. we are left little option but to use a Bank of Ireland panel firm or keep our preferred solicitor and fork out for one of their panel ones to act for them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that Bank of Ireland use our lawyer?
No, not really. The home loan issued to you contains terms and conditions, a common one being that solicitors will be on the Bank of Ireland solicitor panel. in the past, most mortgage companies had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Bank of Ireland
