My Hackney Wick conveyancer has identified a discrepancy when comparing the assumptions in the valuation survey and what is revealed within the conveyancing documents. My solicitor informs me that he needs to ensure that the bank is OK with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my conveyancer’s approach right?
Your property lawyer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook provisions 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.
