My solicitor has identified a a problem with the lease for the flat we are purchasing in East Sheen. The seller’s lawyers have put forward defective title insurance as a solution. We are content with insurance and will pay for it. Our property lawyer says that he must be satisfied that the mortgage company is content with this solution. Are we the client or is 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 conveyancer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions. The UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions require your lawyer to disclose issues such as defects with the lease so that the bank 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.

Not many law firms or advisers will tell you this but conveyancing in East Sheen and elsewhere in South West London is an adversarial experience. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there exists lots of opportunity for friction between you and others involved in the legal transfer of property.

We are witnessing a distinct ongoing adversarial element to conveyancing- someone must be at fault for the process being so protracted. You your first instinct should be to trust your conveyancer ahead of all other parties in the conveyancing process.
