Our Cheddleton lawyer has spotted an inconsistency between the surveyor’s assumptions in the home valuation report and what is revealed within the conveyancing documents. My lawyer says 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?
Your lawyer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements 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.
It is is a decade since I bought my property in Cheddleton. Conveyancing solicitors have now been retained on the sale but I am unable to locate my deeds. Is this a major issue?
You need not be too concerned. First the deeds may be with your mortgage company or they may be in the possession of the conveyancers who handled the purchase. Secondly the chances are that the property will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers obtaining up to date copy of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Cheddleton involves registered property but in the rare situation where your home is unregistered it is more tricky but is resolvable.

My offer was accepted on a house in Cheddleton on 20/3/2024, valuation was booked 4 days later, received a clean bill of health. Solicitor appointed, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer.
