Our Osidge solicitor has uncovered a difference between the assumptions in the valuation survey and what is in the legal papers for the property. My solicitor says that he is duty bound to check that the bank is happy with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my solicitor’s approach legitimate?
Your lawyer 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 have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Osidge off the council. I have a mortgage offer with Bank of Ireland. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?

Intending to buy a flat in Osidge. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage".

I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Osidge solicitor is on the Santander conveyancing panel.
