The Sydenham Hill conveyancing firm handling our Sydenham Hill conveyancing has spotted a discrepancy when comparing the information in the home valuation survey and what is revealed within the legal papers for the property. My lawyer has advised that he is duty bound to check that the bank is OK with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my conveyancer’s course or action correct?
Your conveyancer 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.
