The West Croydon conveyancing firm handling our West Croydon conveyancing has spotted a difference when comparing the assumptions in the valuation report and what is in the title deeds. My lawyer informs me that he is obliged to check that the lender is happy with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my conveyancer’s approach legitimate?
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 both parties.

I am close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our house in West Croydon and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. A high street West Croydon lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers instructed an internet conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in West Croydon. We have lived in West Croydon for many years we know that this is a non issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to seek clarification need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You must check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same illness)
