Our Llanrhystud solicitor has spotted a discrepancy between the information in the home valuation report and what is revealed within the conveyancing documents. My solicitor informs me that he needs to ensure that the lender is OK with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my conveyancer’s course or action legitimate?
Your solicitor must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook provisions 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.

I purchased a semi-detached Edwardian property in Llanrhystud. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and Coventry Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold with the exact same property. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??

The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Llanrhystud and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also check the situation with the conveyancing lawyer who conducted the conveyancing.
