Our solicitor has uncovered a defect with the lease for the apartment we are purchasing in Mulbarton. The other side have put forward defective title insurance as a solution. We are content with insurance and will pay for it. Our conveyancer says that he must check that the mortgage company is willing to move forward with this solution. Are we the client or is the bank?
The short answer to your last question is that, notwithstanding the risk of a conflict of interest, you and the bank are the client. Your conveyancer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions. The UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions require your lawyer to disclose issues such as defects with the lease so that the mortgage company can be afforded the opportunity to check with their valuer as to the extent that the value of the property is affected. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your solicitor will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my 2 bed apartment in Mulbarton. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, but I have just received a quarterly service charge invoice – Do I pay up?
It best that you pay the invoice as you normally would because all rents and service payments will be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
