My conveyancer has discovered a a legal deficiency with the lease for the property we are buying in Leigh On Sea. The other side have offered defective title insurance as a solution. We are content with insurance and will pay for it. Our solicitor says that he must be satisfied that the lender is content with this solution. Who is the client here, us or the lender?

The appropriate lender requirements must be adhered to.

I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Leigh On Sea off the council. I have a mortgage agreed with Aldermore. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Aldermore, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Aldermore conveyancing panel.
I can not fathom if my lender obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have telephoned my Leigh On Sea bank branch on various occasions and was told it wasn't an issue and they will lend. My Leigh On Sea conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- called and was told they will not lend based on their published requirements. I simply don't know who is right.
As long as the property lawyer is on the bank panel, they must adhere to the CML Handbook provisions for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
Planning on purchasing a maisonette in Leigh On Sea. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Leigh On Sea conveyancing practitioner is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel.
I have justdiscovered that Arc property Solicitors have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Leigh On Sea for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 18 months ago. How can I be sure that my home is in my name in the name of the former proprietor?
The easiest method to see if the property is in your name, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Leigh On Sea conveyancing specialists.
I have been pointed in your direction by a few selling agents in Leigh On Sea to get a quote from a conveyancer on your site. Is there a financial advantage for Estate Agents to promote your lawyers ahead of a competitor’s?
