The Netherley conveyancing firm handling our Netherley conveyancing has spotted a difference between the surveyor’s assumptions in the home valuation survey and what is revealed within the title deeds. My lawyer informs me that he is duty bound to ensure that the lender is happy with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my lawyer’s course or action correct?
Your conveyancing practitioner must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications 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.

As long as the title is registered the details of your proprietorship will be documented by HMLR with a Title Number. It is easy to execute a search at the Land Registry, identify your house and order up to date copies of the Registered Entries for a small fee. Where the property is Leasehold then the Land Registry will in most cases retain a file duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be ordered for a small fee.
