My lawyer has discovered a defect with the lease for the property we are purchasing in Bozeat. The seller’s lawyers have suggested defective title insurance as a workaround. We are content with insurance and will cover the costs. Our property lawyer has advised that he must ensure that the mortgage company is willing to move forward with this solution. Who is the client here, us or the bank?
The short answer to your last question is that, notwithstanding the risk of a conflict of interest, you and the lender are the client. Your property lawyer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook provisions. 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 conveyancer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.

I'm purchasing my first flat in Bozeat with the aid of help to buy. The developers refused to move on the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The house builders rep advised me not disclose to my solicitor about the side-deal as it would put at risk my loan with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

We're FTB’s - agreed a price, yet the property agent has warned us that the vendor will only go ahead if we appoint their recommended conveyancers as they need an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a high street solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Bozeat
It is highly unlikely the vendors are behind this. Should the seller desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a genuine purchaser is not the way to achieve this. Speak to the vendors direct and explain that (a)you are genuine buyers (b)you are ready to progress, with finances arranged © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you intend to instruct your preferred Bozeat conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will give the estate agent a commission or achieve conveyancing thresholds demanded by head office.
