My conveyancer has discovered a a problem with the lease for the apartment we are purchasing in Prestbury. The seller’s lawyers have put forward title insurance as a solution. We are content with insurance and will pay for it. Our conveyancer has advised that he must check that the bank is happy with this solution. Who is the client here, us or the bank?
Even though 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 conditions. You and the mortgage company are the client. The appropriate lender specifications must be adhered to.

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Prestbury. Before diving in I want to be sure as to the unexpired term of the lease.
If the lease is registered - and most are in Prestbury - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of detailed investigations. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt additional concerns that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward based on this information without first getting professional advice.
