Door number balls up

I am in the process of buying a flat and have had the mortgage arranged and the flat valued.Today the solicitor phoned me and said that the conveyancing plans of the flats do not match the door numbers that the housing association have given me.So instead of buying a flat I thought i was buying , according to the door numbers I am buying the flat next door.
I assume that the housing association woman showed the surveyor around the property that I am actually buying but the problem might come from the mortgage company.They now think I am buying the wrong flat as the plot numbers dont match up with the door numbers.
Would the mortgage company call the offer void as he has looked around the right property but on the paperwork is is actually the flat next door.
The problem is they have numbered the plot numbers through 1-28 missing out 13 and putting 12a instead.The problem arises is that they have not put a 12a on the door numbers put have put a 29 instead missing out the 12a.

Plot numbers have historically rarely matched door numbers.0

^^^ agree mine is plot 702 (house 2 on the 7th phase).
I would guess (and its only that!) that as long as the surveyor valued the correct house, and the land reg / title deeds are correctly documented you hopefully shouldnt have a problem.0
