My solicitor has identified a defect with the lease for the property we are buying in Rhyl. The seller’s lawyers have offered defective title insurance as a workaround. We are happy with insurance and will cover the costs. Our conveyancer has advised that he must check that the mortgage company is willing to move forward with this solution.
