The Northop Hall conveyancing firm handling our Northop Hall conveyancing has spotted a difference between the surveyor’s assumptions in the home valuation report and what is in the conveyancing documents. My solicitor informs me that he needs to ensure that the bank is OK with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my conveyancer’s approach appropriate?
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.
