My Perton conveyancer has identified an inconsistency between the surveyor’s assumptions in the valuation survey and what is revealed within the title deeds. My solicitor informs me that he is duty bound to check that the lender is OK with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my conveyancer’s course or action right?
Your conveyancer 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.

My partner and I have just discovered that one of the partners of the law firm acting on the purchase conveyancing in Perton is an aunty of the seller. Is this acceptable?
Provided there is no conflict of interest this is allowable. Where you are obtaining mortgage finance then the bank may have a say as many banks have specific requirements on this. For example for Leeds Building Society as of 16/11/2025, the requirements read as follows :
• a different person deals with the conveyance (i.e. not the borrower or a member of the borrower's immediate family);
• there is no conflict of interest and none arises during the transaction; and
• the Law Society guidelines are followed.
