Our Leigh lawyer has discovered an inconsistency when comparing the surveyor’s assumptions in the valuation survey and what is revealed within the title deeds. My solicitor informs me that he is duty bound to check that the lender is OK with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my solicitor’s stance appropriate?
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.

I'm buying a new build house in Leigh benefiting from help to buy. The builders refused to move on the price so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The sale representative suggested that I not inform my solicitor about the extras as it may jeopardize my loan with Nationwide Building Society. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
