Just contacted my conveyancing lawyer in Glan Conwy who completed the legal work two years ago and wanted a conveyancing costs illustration based on an identical type of house sale & purchase (a leasehold property and a freehold property) of similar values with a home loan from Yorkshire Building Society. It looks as though am now being charged twice the amount. Am I right to be tempted to shop around for a cheaper online property lawyer?

My Glan Conwy solicitor has discovered an inconsistency between the surveyor’s assumptions in the valuation report and what is revealed within the conveyancing documents. My lawyer informs me that he must ensure that the bank is happy with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my lawyer’s stance legitimate?
Your property lawyer 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 you.
