The Sunbury conveyancing firm handling our Sunbury conveyancing has uncovered a difference when comparing the assumptions in the home valuation survey and what is revealed within the legal papers for the property. My solicitor informs me that he is obliged to check that the bank is happy with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my lawyer’s course or action right?

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 both parties.

Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease.
