The Wokingham conveyancing firm handling our Wokingham conveyancing has identified a discrepancy between the assumptions in the valuation survey and what is in the conveyancing documents. My lawyer says that he must ensure that the lender is happy with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my solicitor’s stance appropriate?
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 you.

Searches are not likely to be the root cause of holding up conveyancing in Wokingham.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in last month in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Wokingham is where the house is located. Can you offer any opinion?
Flying freeholds in Wokingham are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Wokingham you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Wokingham may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
