The Wandsworth conveyancing firm handling our Wandsworth conveyancing has identified an inconsistency between the information in the home valuation report and what is in the conveyancing documents. My lawyer says that he is duty bound to ensure that the lender is happy with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my lawyer’s stance legitimate?
