The Stalybridge conveyancing firm handling our Stalybridge conveyancing has spotted a difference when comparing the assumptions in the home valuation report and what is in the title deeds. My solicitor informs me that he is obliged to check that the lender is happy with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my lawyer’s course or action appropriate?
Your conveyancer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions 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.
