My conveyancer has discovered a a problem with the lease for the flat we are purchasing in Harold Hill. The other side have suggested defective title insurance as a solution. We are happy with insurance and will cover the costs. Our lawyer has advised that he must be satisfied that the lender is content with this solution. Who is the client here, us or the lender?
Regardless of the fact that 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 requirements. You and the lender are the client. The appropriate lender conditions have to be complied with.

My wife and I have had DIP from HSBC Bank who indicated we could borrow up to £300k. At what point do I need to appoint a lawyer for conveyancing? Harold Hill is where we are .
You can appoint a solicitor now so that the lawyer can open the ledger so they can commence their AML checks etc. Once you wish them to start work they will seek a deposit usually approximately £200. That should generally be after you have the loan offer from your bank and survey back, however if you want to expedite the process you can get going quicker even though you may be risking some expense.
