Our solicitor has discovered a defect with the lease for the flat we are purchasing in Downe. The other side have put forward defective title insurance as a solution. We are happy with insurance and will pay for it. Our conveyancer says that he must ensure that the bank is content with this solution. Are we the client or is the mortgage company ?

Your lawyer has to ensure that the lease has to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications. You and the bank are the client. These conveyancing instructions have to be complied with.
