My Locks Heath solicitor has discovered an inconsistency between the information in the valuation report and what is in the conveyancing documents. My solicitor has advised that he is duty bound to ensure that the lender is happy with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my solicitor’s stance appropriate?
Your property lawyer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements 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.

This is because builders in Locks Heath tend to acquire 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.
