My conveyancer has identified a a problem with the lease for the flat we are purchasing in Hounslow. The seller’s lawyers have put forward defective title insurance as a workaround. We are content with insurance and will pay for it. Our lawyer says that he must check that the bank is willing to move forward with this solution. Who is the client here, us or the lender?
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 lawyer 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 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 conveyancer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.
My fiance and I wish to acquire a purpose built apartment in Hounslow with a residential mortgage from Lloyds TSB Bank.We have a Hounslow conveyancing solicitor but Lloyds TSB Bank informed us her practice is not listed on their approved list of member firms. we are left little option but to use a Lloyds TSB Bank panel lawyer or retain our high street solicitor and fork out for one of their panel ones to act for them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that Lloyds TSB Bank use our lawyer?
No, not really. The home loan offered to you is subject to its various provisions, a common one being that solicitors needs to be on the Lloyds TSB Bank approved list. Until recently, most mortgage companies had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Lloyds TSB Bank
