Our Burghfield Common lawyer has spotted an inconsistency between the assumptions in the home valuation report and what is revealed within the title deeds. My solicitor informs me that he is duty bound to check that the lender is happy with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my conveyancer’s stance legitimate?
Your conveyancing practitioner must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications 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.

My husband and I are novice buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the property agent informed us that the seller will only proceed if we instruct the agent's recommended conveyancers as they want an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a local conveyancer used to conveyancing in Burghfield Common
We suspect that the owner is unaware of this request. If they require ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated buyer is going to damage their objectives. Contact the vendors directly and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are serious purchasers (b)you are ready to progress, with finances in place © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you are going to use your preferred Burghfield Common conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will provide the negotiator at the agency a commission or achieve conveyancing figures set by head office.
