Our Rhymney conveyancer has spotted a difference when comparing the assumptions in the valuation report and what is revealed within the title deeds. My solicitor informs me that he is duty bound to ensure that the lender is OK with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my conveyancer’s approach right?
Your lawyer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook provisions 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.
Finally the sale completed on my house in Rhymney last June but the buyer keeps SMS messaging daily to moan that their lawyer needs to hear from mine. What are the post completion sale formalities now that I have sold?

I'm buying a new build house in Rhymney with a mortgage from Accord Mortgages Ltd. The developers refused to move on the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The estate agent told me not disclose to my solicitor about the deal as it may impact my mortgage with the bank. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
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.
