My conveyancer has identified a defect with the lease for the property we are buying in North Yorkshire. The seller’s lawyers have put forward title insurance as a workaround. We are happy with insurance and will cover the costs. Our solicitor says that he must be satisfied that the mortgage company is willing to move forward with this solution. Are we the client or is the lender?

Even though you have a mortgage offer from the lender does not mean to say that the property will meet their conditions for the purposes of a mortgage. Your lawyer has to ensure that the lease has to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook provisions. You and the lender are the client. These conveyancing instructions have to be complied with.

I have been advised by numerous selling agents in North Yorkshire to find a conveyancer using your seach tool. Is there a financial upside for Estate Agents to offer your services ahead of a competitor’s?

We don’t make any financial incentive for sending work in our direction. We found it would be just too difficult a fee because a client could think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.

We are about to buying a flat in North Yorkshire. Could the conveyancer keep our transaction price a secret from sites such as Nestoria. How can this be achieved ?

HM Land Registry as a matter of law bound to specify price paid data on the official title for domestic properties countrywide which includes premises in North Yorkshire. The Title Register is an open document, so HM Land Registry would be breaching their statutory obligations if they failed to permit access to the register.

You can ask HMLR to hide the price paid data however the response would be in the negative.
