My conveyancer has uncovered a defect with the lease for the flat we are purchasing in Little Ilford. The seller’s lawyers have offered defective title insurance as a solution. We are happy with insurance and will pay for it. Our conveyancer says that he must check that the lender is happy with this solution. Are we the client or is the mortgage company ?
