Our Murton conveyancer has uncovered a discrepancy when comparing the assumptions in the valuation survey and what is revealed within the title deeds. My lawyer informs me that he is obliged to check that the bank is OK with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my solicitor’s approach correct?

Your conveyancing practitioner must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions 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 you.

It is is a decade since I acquired my property in Murton. Conveyancing lawyers have now been retained on the sale but I am unable to find the title deeds. Is this a problem?

Don’t worry too much. Firstly there is a chance that the deeds will be retained by your mortgage company or they could still be with the lawyers who acted in the purchase. Secondly in all probability the property will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers procuring up to date copy of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Murton relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your home is unregistered it is more tricky but is not insurmountable.
