The Herne Bay conveyancing firm handling our Herne Bay conveyancing has uncovered a difference when comparing the assumptions in the home valuation report and what is in the title deeds. My solicitor has advised that he needs to check that the bank is happy with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my lawyer’s course or action right?

Your property lawyer 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.

Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose?

The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease.
