The Waltham conveyancing firm handling our Waltham conveyancing has spotted a discrepancy when comparing the surveyor’s assumptions in the valuation report and what is in the conveyancing documents. My lawyer informs me that he is duty bound to check that the lender is with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my conveyancer’s approach legitimate?
Your 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.
