My conveyancer has uncovered a a problem with the lease for the property we are buying in Buckinghamshire. The other side have offered title insurance as a solution. We are happy with insurance and will cover the costs. Our property lawyer has advised that he must be satisfied that the mortgage company is content 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 bank are the client. Your solicitor 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 mortgage company 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 am due to move home in August. Will my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you recommend a removal company in Buckinghamshire. Conveyancing solicitor was organised before I stumbled across your site.

We are not in a position to recommend a particular removal organisation but can help you locate a conveyancing in Buckinghamshire or a legal practice with expertise in conveyancing in Buckinghamshire.
Are all Buckinghamshire Conveyancing Quality Solicitors on the Santander conveyancing list of approved solicitors?
Some major banks and building societies now make use of the accreditation scheme as the starting point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander. The Law Society’s CQS membership however is no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. Nevertheless,the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for firms wishing to remain on their approved list of firms.
I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in April 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, Aldermore are being difficult. The Buckinghamshire solicitor who is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Aldermore are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Aldermore have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Aldermore have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Aldermore may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
I have been on the look out for a flat up to £195,000 and identified one close by in Buckinghamshire I like with open areas and station nearby, the downside is that it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Buckinghamshire for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage that many years will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you may request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.

One month into purchasing a property in Buckinghamshire. Conveyancing lawyer has phoned to say the title is "Leasehold". Will this likely make a difference on our Santander valuation?
Buckinghamshire conveyancing does not ordinarily involve leasehold houses. The key factor here is the remaining lease term and the ground rent. If there are over a hundred years remaining with a peppercorn rent, it's virtually freehold, so it’s unlikely to affect the value significantly.
On the flip side, if it's, say, Sixty years it will have a material effect on the saleability, and most likely wouldn't be mortgageable. The remaining lease term and ground rent will be specified in the lease which should be made available to your lawyer.
