Our aim is to provide affordable conveyancing but we do not aim to work with the cheapest lawyers. Resist the temptation to appoint brokers offering low cost conveyancing in Botany Bay.

My lawyer has discovered a a problem with the lease for the property we are purchasing in Botany Bay. The seller’s lawyers have offered title insurance as a workaround. We are happy with insurance and will pay for it. Our conveyancer says that he must ensure that the bank is willing to move forward with this solution. Who is the client here, us or the mortgage company ?
Notwithstanding that you have a mortgage offer from the mortgage company does not mean to say that the property will meet their provisions for the purposes of a mortgage. Your lawyer has to ensure that the lease has to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook provisions. You and the bank are the client. These conveyancing instructions must be adhered to.
I have an AIP. The bank mentioned the loan came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to appoint their panel solicitor as I would much rather use a Botany Bay based conveyancing firm?
You should check but the the probability is that appoint one of their panel solicitors where you take up the "fee-free" incentive. Contact the lender and determine if they make available a cash alternative. In the past a few mortgage companies offered a £250 cashback as a further option in which case you could put that amount towards the cost for your conveyancing solicitor near Botany Bay.

The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants.
My brother has urged me to instruct his lawyers for conveyancing in Botany Bay. Should I choose my own solicitor?
