Our conveyancer has identified a a legal deficiency with the lease for the property we are buying in Purton. The seller’s lawyers have suggested defective title insurance as a workaround. We are happy with insurance and will pay for it. Our conveyancing practitioner says that he must ensure that the lender is willing to move forward with this solution. Are we the client or is the mortgage company ?
The short answer to your last question is that, notwithstanding the potential for a conflict of interest, you and the mortgage company are the client. Your solicitor 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 conveyancer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.

I'm the sole beneficiary of my late grandmother’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Purton. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in February. I want to move. I understand that there is a CML 6 month 'rule', which means that my property ownership will be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the property in February. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?
The CML handbook requires solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you may be impacted by that. How sensible a view lenders take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this obligation is chiefly there to capture subsales or the flipping of property.
We are getting the release of further funds on our home loan from Santander as we intend to conduct a loft conversion to our house in Purton. Do we need to appoint a local Purton solicitor on the Santander conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?
Santander would not normally require a member of their conveyancing panel to handle such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Santander list.
I completed on my home on 16 September and the transaction details is yet to be on the land registry website. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Purton expressed confidence that it would be registered inside ten days. Are properties in Purton uniquely lengthy to register?
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Purton registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can vary subject to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any other parties. Currently approximately three quarters of such applications are fully addressed within two weeks but occasionally there can be protracted hold-ups. Registration occurs after the new owner has moved in to the property so 'speed' is not always top priority yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
