My solicitor has identified a a legal deficiency with the lease for the property we are purchasing in Dolwyddelan. The seller’s lawyers have put forward defective title insurance as a solution. We are happy with insurance and will cover the costs. Our property lawyer says that he must check that the lender is happy with this solution. Are we the client or is the mortgage company ?
Even though you have a mortgage offer from the mortgage company does not mean to say that the property will meet their provisions for the purposes of a mortgage. Your lawyer has to ensure that the lease has to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook provisions. You and the mortgage company are the client. These conveyancing instructions must be adhered to.
