My solicitor has uncovered a defect with the lease for the flat we are purchasing in Eynsham. The other side have put forward defective title insurance as a solution. We are content with insurance and will pay for it. Our property lawyer has advised that he must be satisfied that the mortgage company is willing to move forward with this solution. Are we the client or is the bank?
The short answer to your last question is that, notwithstanding the risk of a conflict of interest, you and the mortgage company are the client. Your conveyancing practitioner 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 conveyancing practitioner will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.
