Our South Yorkshire lawyer has spotted an inconsistency between the assumptions in the valuation report and what is revealed within the conveyancing documents. My solicitor informs me that he must check that the bank is happy with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my solicitor’s approach legitimate?
Your property lawyer 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 you.

About to purchase house in South Yorkshire. 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 take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. 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 South Yorkshire lawyer is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel.
After shopping around on the internet I have found a South Yorkshire conveyancer having checked that they are on the RBS conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
RBS will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually RBS will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your property lawyer will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your South Yorkshire postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with RBS, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in South Yorkshire.
