My solicitor has advised that he is obliged to ensure that the lender is OK with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my solicitor’s approach correct?

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.

We had selected solicitors based in Woolavington on the Coventry BS solicitor panel. They have just billed me a separate charge for handling the Coventry BS mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Coventry BS?
As unfair as it may seem, as long as it’s in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your conveyancer can charge a fee for this. The fee is not dictated by Coventry BS but by your Woolavington conveyancer. Some firms on the Coventry BS panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but some practices incorporate it on their overall fee.
I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Woolavington off the council. I have a mortgage agreed with TSB. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with TSB, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the TSB conveyancing panel.
