Our Newport Pagnell solicitor has identified a difference between the information in the valuation report and what is revealed within the conveyancing documents. My lawyer says that he needs to check that the lender is OK with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my solicitor’s stance right?
Your lawyer 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.

We have lived in Newport Pagnell for many years we know that this is a non issue. Should we contact our local Authority to get confirmation need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You need to check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same sickness)
