My Carshalton solicitor has spotted a discrepancy between the assumptions in the valuation survey and what is in the legal papers for the property. My solicitor informs me that he is duty bound to ensure that the bank is happy with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my lawyer’s stance right?
Your solicitor 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 you.
