My solicitor has uncovered a a legal deficiency with the lease for the apartment we are buying in Piccadilly. The other side have offered title insurance as a solution. We are content with insurance and will cover the costs. Our solicitor has advised that he must be satisfied that the mortgage company is content with this solution. Are we the client or is the bank?
Regardless of the fact that you have a mortgage offer from the lender 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 provisions. You and the mortgage company are the client. These conveyancing instructions have to be complied with.
I recently had an offer agreed on a house in Piccadilly. My mortgage broker pressured me to appoint their property lawyer. I paid an on account payment of £200.

Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Co-operative panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

In a buoyant market many buyers would apply for the mortgage with Bank of Ireland and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they pay their conveyancer to press on with the conveyancing in Piccadilly.
