The Wallington conveyancing firm handling our Wallington conveyancing has discovered an inconsistency when comparing the information in the home valuation survey and what is revealed within the title deeds. My lawyer has advised that he is obliged to ensure that the bank is OK with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my solicitor’s course or action legitimate?

Your lawyer 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 you.
