Our Horley solicitor has spotted an inconsistency when comparing the surveyor’s assumptions in the valuation survey and what is revealed within the title deeds. My solicitor has advised that he needs to ensure that the lender is OK with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my lawyer’s course or action correct?

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.
