Our solicitor has uncovered a a problem with the lease for the flat we are buying in Retford. The seller’s lawyers have suggested defective title insurance as a workaround. We are content with insurance and will pay for it. Our property lawyer says that he must ensure that the bank is willing to move forward with this solution. Who is the client here, us or 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 conditions 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 mortgage company are the client. These conveyancing instructions must be adhered to.

I am helping my aunt sell her property in Retford. Does the solicitor commission an energy performance certificate or should I organise this?
After the demise of Home Information Packs, energy performance certificates became a mandatory component of selling a property. An energy assessment should be to hand in advance of the property being marketed. This is not something that conveyancers ordinarily organise. Where you are using a Retford conveyancing lawyer they may be able to arrange energy assessments due to their relationships with long established Retford assessors

It would be sensible to commence your search sooner rather than later. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their details on to the EA.
