My solicitor has uncovered a a legal deficiency with the lease for the apartment we are purchasing in Lapworth. The other side have put forward title insurance as a workaround. We are content with insurance and will pay for it. Our property lawyer has advised that he must check that the bank is content with this solution. Are we the client or is the mortgage company ?
Regardless of the fact that you have a mortgage offer from the lender 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 specifications must be adhered to.
When can the exchange of contracts occur in domestic conveyancing in Lapworth and am I required to be at the solicitors branch?
If you are round the corner to our conveyancing solicitors in Lapworth you are welcome to attend to sign the paperwork. However, the lender approved solicitors we recommend supply a nationwide conveyancing service and give just as comprehensive and professional a job for you when dealing with you by post or email. The executing of the purchase agreement is not the point of no return. Signing on the dotted line is necessary for the solicitor to officially exchange when the time is right, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The procedure is is usually a five minute process, although where an extended "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Lapworth)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

My husband and I are FTB’s - agreed a price, yet the property agent informed us that the seller will only proceed if we appoint their recommended lawyers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Lapworth
