The Clayton conveyancing firm handling our Clayton conveyancing has identified an inconsistency when comparing the information in the valuation report and what is revealed within the conveyancing documents. My solicitor says that he must ensure that the lender is OK with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my lawyer’s stance legitimate?

Your solicitor 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.
