Shared ownership valuation issue

Hi
We are buying a shared ownership property for 275k and has been valued at 265k. We are buying a 25% share so obviously valued 2.5k less of what we are buying. 
 We are happy to pay full price and put down the extra 2.5k. 
 We got our mortgage offer back displaying the purchase price is 66250, our solicitor and the housing association have said it should be 68750.
  The lender is lending 56310 we are putting down 9940 deposit and have 2.5k to cover the difference in valuation.  

We are still waiting to hear back from solicitors and broker but now been 2 days and starting to worry. 

Is it meant to be 66250 or 68750 on the mortgage offer?

Thanks

    25% of 265k is £66250, which is what the bank believes the property is worth 

    HA and Solicitor figure represents 25% of the price of 275k = £68750, which is what they are expecting from you ...

    Mortgage 56310 + deposit 9940 + extra 2500 = £68750

    Seems fine to me :)

    That's how I see it too, should the mortgage offer have purchase price as 68750 or 66250 though? 
  • Mortgage offer shows the lower of the purchase price or the valuation 

    Offer is correct 
  • I believe the mortgage offer should show purchase price of £68750 with your deposit as £ 12440 
    £12440 plus £ 56310 = £68750
