I can't travel far from Alrewas. What is the rationale as to why all Alrewas solicitors are not on all mortgage company panels?
As unjust as it may appear for banks to restrict who can represent them, from the public’s or lawyer’s standpoint, the other side of the coin is that lending institutions are increasingly anxious and consider it essential to protect them from mortgage fraud. As a result of this concern banks have restricted their panel of approved conveyancing lawyers to a size that they are happy to control.
My conveyancer has uncovered a a legal deficiency with the lease for the apartment we are purchasing in Alrewas. The other side have offered title insurance as a workaround. We are happy with insurance and will pay for it. Our solicitor has advised that he must ensure that the bank is content 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 mortgage company are the client. Your conveyancer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions. 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 conveyancing practitioner will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.
