The Lambeth conveyancing firm handling our Lambeth conveyancing has spotted an inconsistency between the surveyor’s assumptions in the valuation survey and what is revealed within the legal papers for the property. My lawyer says that he must ensure that the bank is OK with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my conveyancer’s approach legitimate?
Your solicitor 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.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Lambeth is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Lambeth are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Lambeth you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Lambeth may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
