My Esher lawyer has discovered a discrepancy when comparing the assumptions in the valuation report and what is revealed within the conveyancing documents. My lawyer says that he must ensure that the lender is happy with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my solicitor’s course or action appropriate?
Your conveyancer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions 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.

How does conveyancing in Esher differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Esher come to us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because developers in Esher tend to buy the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Esher or who has acted in the same development.
