My lawyer has discovered a a problem with the lease for the property we are buying in Henllys. The seller’s lawyers have offered title insurance as a solution. We are happy with insurance and will cover the costs. Our lawyer has advised that he must check that the lender is willing to move forward with this solution. Are we the client or is the lender?
The short answer to your last question is that, notwithstanding the risk of a conflict of interest, you and the lender are the client. Your property lawyer 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 mortgage company 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 solicitor will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.
