My Cinderford solicitor has uncovered a difference between the information in the valuation survey and what is revealed within the conveyancing documents. My lawyer has advised that he is obliged to ensure that the lender is OK with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my conveyancer’s stance legitimate?
Your conveyancer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications 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.
