The Yate conveyancing firm handling our Yate conveyancing has spotted an inconsistency between the information in the home valuation survey and what is revealed within the title deeds. My lawyer says that he is obliged to ensure that the bank is OK with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my conveyancer’s stance legitimate?
Your property lawyer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications 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.

My cousin is purchasing a studio flat in Yate. He was given a quote by the conveyancing practitioner suggested by the estate agents and it came to £1275 . It was eight years ago since I sold and purchased a property and the fee was £450. Have charges really gone up that much?
What does the conveyancing estimate include? Is it just for the legal fees, or what you will be paying in total (for instance Yate searches, land registry fees, etc)
