The Pentraeth conveyancing firm handling our Pentraeth conveyancing has spotted a difference between the information in the valuation survey and what is in the title deeds. My solicitor informs me that he needs to check that the bank is happy with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my conveyancer’s course or action correct?
Your solicitor 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.

My mum and dad are experiencing problems in finding their Pentraeth property on the HM Land Registry website. They have a vague memory 48 years ago when they bought the property there were complications regarding the post code not being identified on some systems.
The vast majority of properties in Pentraeth should be revealed. Have you endevoured to search with just the postcode. Normally it should disclose all the houses and flats inside the postcode. Assuming the property is recorded it will show up with a title number. If they bought fifty years ago it's conceivable it may be unrecorded. The address may still be revealed but with the title number shown 'na'. In this scenario you will need to locate the original title deeds which could be with your parent’s bank.
