The Hampden Pk conveyancing firm handling our Hampden Pk conveyancing has discovered a difference when comparing the information in the home valuation survey and what is revealed within the conveyancing documents. My lawyer says that he is duty bound to ensure that the bank is happy with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my lawyer’s stance right?
Your conveyancing practitioner 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.

We have agreed to purchase a house in Hampden Pk. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Bank of Ireland be concerned?
As your lender is Bank of Ireland your lawyer must check the conveyancing instructions contained in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Bank of Ireland. The CML Handbook includes minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and solicitors are required to report to Bank of Ireland where a lease fails to comply with these requirements.

I am selling my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in March 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, RBS are being difficult. The Hampden Pk solicitor who is on the RBS conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but RBS are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do RBS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that RBS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why RBS may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
