The Melton Mowbray conveyancing firm handling our Melton Mowbray conveyancing has spotted a discrepancy between the surveyor’s assumptions in the valuation report and what is revealed within the legal papers for the property. My lawyer has advised that he is obliged to check that the lender is OK with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my solicitor’s stance appropriate?
Your solicitor 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. 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.

Can you clarify what the consequences are if my lawyer’s firm is suspended from the TSB Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Melton Mowbray?
The first thing to point out is that, this is a very rare occurrence. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit for a fee.
