My solicitor has discovered a defect with the lease for the flat we are purchasing in Long Itchington. The other side have put forward title insurance as a solution. We are happy with insurance and will cover the costs. Our property lawyer says that he must be satisfied that the mortgage company is content with this solution. Who is the client here, us or the bank?
Even though you have a mortgage offer from the bank does not mean to say that the property will meet their specifications for the purposes of a mortgage. Your lawyer has to ensure that the lease has to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications. You and the bank are the client. The appropriate lender specifications have to be complied with.
My husband and I are purchasing a newbuild apartment in Long Itchington with a homeloan from Coventry Building Society.We like our Long Itchington conveyancing lawyer but Coventry Building Society says she’s not listed on their approved list of member firms. We have to appoint a Coventry Building Society panel solicitor or keep our local solicitor and fork out for one of their panel ones to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that Coventry Building Society use our lawyer?
No, not really. The mortgage issued to you contains various provisions, one of which will be that solicitors must be on the Coventry Building Society conveyancing panel. in the past, 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. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Coventry Building Society
