The Tonypandy conveyancing firm handling our Tonypandy conveyancing has discovered a discrepancy when comparing the surveyor’s assumptions in the home valuation survey and what is revealed within the legal papers for the property.

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.
