Our Tunbridge Wells conveyancer has spotted a discrepancy between the information in the home valuation survey and what is revealed within the conveyancing documents. My lawyer informs me that he must ensure that the lender is OK with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my conveyancer’s stance 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.
