My conveyancer has uncovered a defect with the lease for the property we are buying in Aberdare. The other side have put forward defective title insurance as a workaround. We are happy with insurance and will cover the costs. Our lawyer says that he must check that the lender is willing to move forward with this solution. Who is the client here, us or the mortgage company ?
The short answer to your last question is that, notwithstanding the potential for a conflict of interest, you and the bank are the client. Your solicitor must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications. The UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions require your lawyer to disclose issues such as defects with the lease so that the lender can be afforded the opportunity to check with their valuer as to the extent that the value of the property is affected. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your solicitor will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.

Have completed on a a detached house in Aberdare , how long will it take for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing my title? My Aberdare conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be sure that my ownership is registered.
As far as conveyancing in Aberdare registration is no faster or slower than the rest of the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can differ depending on who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry communicate with any third parties. As of today roughly three quarters of such applications are completed within two weeks but some can be subject to longer delays. Historically registration takes place once the buyer is living at the premises so 'speed' is not always primary concern but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
I am looking for a flat up to £245,000 and found one round the corner in Aberdare I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, however it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Aberdare suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
If you require a home loan that many years may be problematic. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
My husband and I are 3 weeks into a freehold purchase having been referred to a firm by the high street agent to carry out the conveyancing in Aberdare. I am am very frustrated with the level of service. Can you help me find new conveyancers?
They would need to be really bad in order to consider changing them. Has your loan offer been generated? In the event that it has you must make them aware of the new contact details and ensure the mortgage documents are issued to the new lawyers. Your new solicitor ideally should be on the mortgage company approved list to avoid added costs and frustration. That should be your first question of the new conveyancers.
