Our lawyer has discovered a defect with the lease for the flat we are purchasing in Carshalton Beeches. The seller’s lawyers have offered defective title insurance as a solution. We are happy with insurance and will cover the costs. Our solicitor has advised that he must be satisfied that the lender is willing to move forward with this solution. Are we the client or is the bank?
Even though you have a mortgage offer from the mortgage company does not mean to say that the property will meet their specifications for the purposes of a mortgage. Your lawyer has to ensure that the lease has to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions. You and the bank are the client. The appropriate lender provisions have to be complied with.

I recently had an offer accepted on an apartment in Carshalton Beeches. My financial adviser pressured me to appoint their lawyer. I paid an upfront payment of £150. Soon after, the conveyancing practitioner contacted me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Kent Reliance panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
I am downsizing from our house in Carshalton Beeches and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Carshalton Beeches lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers used an internet conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Carshalton Beeches. Having lived in Carshalton Beeches for three years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to seek confirmation that the buyers are looking for.

It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same sickness)

Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. 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. The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore.
