My Lansbury lawyer has uncovered a difference when comparing the surveyor’s assumptions in the valuation survey and what is in the conveyancing documents. My lawyer informs me that he must check that the bank is happy with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my solicitor’s stance legitimate?

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.
