The Hagley conveyancing firm handling our Hagley conveyancing has identified a difference when comparing the surveyor’s assumptions in the valuation survey and what is in the conveyancing documents. My lawyer has advised that he must check that the lender is happy with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my solicitor’s course or action correct?
Your 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.

My partner and I are buying a studio flat in Hagley. When we first instructed conveyancing practitioner, we were told they were on all mainstream mortgage company panels. Our financial adviser called just now to advise that they don't appear to be on the HSBC approved list. Should that be true, what should we do? Do we simply find a new lawyer that is on their approved list or should we pay for dual representation, with HSBC appointing their own approved property lawyer.
Where you are acquiring a property needing a mortgage it is standard for the buyer’s lawyers to also represent the purchaser's lender. In order to act for a bank or building society a conveyancer has to be on that lender's list of approved lawyers. An application has to be made by the solicitor to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the conveyancer has to fulfill. Some lenders now require their panel firms to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Accreditation Scheme. Your conveyancing practitioner should call HSBC to discover if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own lawyers to represent them. You don't have to instruct a firm on HSBC's conveyancing panel as you are at liberty to use your preferred Hagley lawyers, in which case it will likely add costs, and it will likely delay the transaction as you have another set of people involved.
