Even though it may seem unfair for banks to limit who can act for them, from the public’s or conveyancer’s point of view, the other side of the coin is that lending institutions are becoming ever more anxious and feel it essential to protect them against illegal activities. As a consequence of this concern mortgage companies have reduced their panel of approved conveyancing lawyers to a size that they are happy to control.
Our lawyer has uncovered a a legal deficiency with the lease for the property we are purchasing in Newton-le-Willows. The seller’s lawyers have offered defective title insurance as a solution. We are happy with insurance and will cover the costs. Our conveyancing practitioner has advised that he must ensure that the lender is willing to move forward with this solution. Are we the client or is the mortgage company ?
Notwithstanding that you have a mortgage offer from the mortgage company does not mean to say that the property will meet their provisions for the purposes of a mortgage. Your lawyer has to ensure that the lease has to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements. You and the bank are the client. These conveyancing instructions have to be complied with.

I am short of a 10% deposit on my flat purchase in Newton-le-Willows , but I still want to go ahead. What can I do?
One option is to try and agree a lesser deposit. Most vendors will agree to a smaller deposit or even no deposit for a first time buyer or 100% mortgage. Be aware though that if you fail to complete you will still need to hand over a minimum of 10% of the purchase price regardless of how much deposit was agreed.
You can also agree a simultaneous exchange and completion as no deposit is required for this however neither party will be tied in until completion actually takes place and it can be risky if sellers change their mind at the last second
