Deed 0f Variation - conveyancing

Hi, I've posted before about the nightmare that is selling my flat. There was no lease plan (I know, my solicitor should have spotted this but that's another story) and to make matters worse the flat across the hall does have a lease plan that shows it to be where my flat stands.

I have had to have a new lease plan drafted with a deed of variation , get it approved by management company and their solicitors and it will now go to Land registry soon for approval.
Part of the process was running the new plan and deed past the buyer's solicitor. They said that even if Land Registry approve this document, they need the other flat to get a deed of variation too before they will complete.
So my question is, will land registry approve my document or will they expect a deed to variation from the other flat too? Or if Land registry do approve the document, is the buyer justified in wanting that document or is it another hoop I'm being expected to jump through needlessly. These are very expensive, time-wasting hoops! TIA

Your Deed of V is only with regards your own flat so we would not expect anything to happen re the other flat.
If for some reason that flat's lease needed to be varied as well that's for the landlord/tenants to agree upon with the help of the conveyancer for example
As to 'justification' that's very much a call for the buyer/conveyancer but if the other lease doesn't need varying then it seems an unusual requirement - I assume therefore it does for some reason

Thank you for getting back to me, I hadn't realised anyone responded. That's really set my mind at rest. Fingers crossed this will all be over soon! Thanks again!
