Our Bradmore solicitor has identified a difference when comparing the information in the home valuation report and what is in the legal papers for the property. My lawyer has advised that he is duty bound to check that the bank is OK with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my conveyancer’s stance right?

Your property lawyer 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.
