I chose a local solicitor for my conveyancing in Castle Vale last week. Looking through the small print it is apparent thatI am on the hook for costs even where the transaction does not complete. Should I go with them or instruct an internet conveyancing brokerage advertising no completion no charge conveyancing in Castle Vale?

My lawyer has discovered a a problem with the lease for the flat we are purchasing in Castle Vale. The seller’s lawyers have offered defective title insurance as a workaround. We are happy with insurance and will cover the costs. Our conveyancer says that he must be satisfied that the mortgage company is content with this solution. Who is the client here, us or the mortgage company ?
The short answer to your last question is that, notwithstanding the potential for a conflict of interest, you and the bank are the client. Your property lawyer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements. 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 property lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.
