The Tilehurst conveyancing firm handling our Tilehurst conveyancing has identified an inconsistency when comparing the assumptions in the valuation survey and what is in the title deeds. My solicitor informs me that he is obliged to ensure that the lender is happy with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my lawyer’s course or action correct?
Your conveyancing practitioner 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 you.

I am buying a new build house in Tilehurst with a loan from Chelsea Building Society. The builders refused to reduce the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The house builders rep told me not reveal to my solicitor about this extras as it could affect my loan with the bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
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.
