We opted for a high street solicitor for my conveyancing in Coventry last week. Looking through the official terms of business I noteI am responsible for costs even if the movedoes not happen. Would I be best advised to select a web based firm offering no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Coventry?

Our solicitor has identified a defect with the lease for the apartment we are buying in Coventry. The other side have put forward defective title insurance as a workaround.

The short answer to your last question is that, notwithstanding the potential for a conflict of interest, you and the mortgage company are the client. Your lawyer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications. 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 lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.
