The Mexborough and Swinton conveyancing firm handling our Mexborough and Swinton conveyancing has discovered an inconsistency when comparing the information in the home valuation survey and what is in the conveyancing documents. My lawyer informs me that he needs to check that the bank is OK with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my solicitor’s stance legitimate?
Your conveyancer 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.

I am purchasing my first flat in Mexborough and Swinton with a mortgage from The Mortgage Works. The builders would not reduce the price so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The property agent suggested that I not reveal to my lawyer about this side-deal as it would adversely affect my loan with the bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

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.
