The Totton conveyancing firm handling our Totton conveyancing has spotted a discrepancy between the information in the valuation report and what is revealed within the conveyancing documents. My solicitor informs me that he must check that the bank is OK with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my conveyancer’s approach right?
Your solicitor 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.
