My West Smithfield lawyer has uncovered a difference when comparing the surveyor’s assumptions in the valuation survey and what is revealed within the conveyancing documents. My solicitor has advised that he is duty bound to check that the lender is OK with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my lawyer’s approach correct?
Your conveyancing practitioner 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.
