My Perranporth conveyancer has identified a difference when comparing the information in the home valuation survey and what is revealed within the legal papers for the property. My solicitor has advised that he must ensure that the bank is happy with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my conveyancer’s course or action correct?
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 both parties.
