I was informed yesterday by my mortgage adviser that my Wanborough property lawyer is not on the bank Conveyancing panel. What can I do to be sure if this is correct?

Your first step should be to call your Wanborough conveyancer. It is reasonable to expect your lawyer to notify you what has happened. Where they are not on the panel they may be able to suggest a Wanborough conveyancing practice that is on the conveyancing panel for your lender.

The Wanborough conveyancing firm handling our Wanborough conveyancing has uncovered a difference between the information in the valuation survey and what is revealed within the conveyancing documents. My solicitor has advised that he must check that the bank is OK with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my lawyer’s stance legitimate?

Your solicitor must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements 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.
