Our conveyancer has identified a defect with the lease for the property we are purchasing in Carbis Bay. The seller’s lawyers have offered title insurance as a solution. We are happy with insurance and will pay for it. Our property lawyer says that he must be satisfied that the mortgage company is willing to move forward with this solution. Are we the client or is the bank?

If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
