Our South West London conveyancer has uncovered a difference between the assumptions in the home valuation report and what is in the legal papers for the property. My solicitor has advised that he must ensure that the bank is OK with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my solicitor’s stance correct?
Your property lawyer 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.

Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in South West London. Before I get started I would like to find out the remaining lease term.
If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and almost all are in South West London - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
