My solicitor has identified a defect with the lease for the flat we are buying in Lytchett Matravers. The seller’s lawyers have offered title insurance as a workaround. We are content with insurance and will cover the costs. Our property lawyer has advised that he must check that the bank is willing to move forward with this solution. Who is the client here, us or the mortgage company ?

Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your property lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.
