The Thamesmead conveyancing firm handling our Thamesmead conveyancing has uncovered an inconsistency between the information in the home valuation report and what is in the legal papers for the property. My solicitor informs me that he is duty bound to ensure that the lender is OK with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my lawyer’s approach right?

Your lawyer 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 both parties.

It would be prudent to instigate your search sooner rather than later.

I recently had an offer agreed on a house in Thamesmead. My financial adviser recommended their conveyancers. I paid an upfront payment of £175. A few days later, the property lawyer contacted me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?

You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Co-operative panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
