The Newark conveyancing firm handling our Newark conveyancing has uncovered a difference between the assumptions in the home valuation report and what is revealed within the conveyancing documents. My lawyer says that he is obliged to check that the bank is happy with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my conveyancer’s approach 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 aiming to move home in June. Will my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the completion day. On a separate note, can you suggest a removal company in Newark. Conveyancing lawyer was found before I stumbled across your site.
On the afternoon of completion you can collect the keys from your estate agent but this should only take place once the vendors lawyers advise the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be released. After that you can advise the removal company that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a specific removal organisation but can assist you in locating a conveyancing in Newark or a firm with expertise in conveyancing in Newark.
I had an offer accepted on a property in Newark on 5/3/2026, valuation was booked 3 days after, received a clean bill of health. Conveyancer retained, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Virgin Money and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. Can the lender hold off the offer?
A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Virgin Money to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
