Our conveyancer has uncovered a a legal deficiency with the lease for the flat we are buying in Rossett. The seller’s lawyers have put forward defective title insurance as a solution. We are content with insurance and will cover the costs. Our solicitor has advised that he must check that the bank is happy with this solution. Who is the client here, us or the lender?
The short answer to your last question is that, notwithstanding the risk of a conflict of interest, you and the mortgage company are the client. Your conveyancer 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 property lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.
This question may be naive but I am new to the house moving as FTB of a garden flat in Rossett. Do I collect the keys to the premises on the completion date from my lawyer? If this is the case, I will instruct a local conveyancing solicitor in Rossett?

Your solicitors will arrange to send the purchase money to the seller's solicitors, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be invited to collect the keys from the property Agents and start moving into the property.

I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Yorkshire BS. I assume I don't need a Rossett lawyer on the Yorkshire BS panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Yorkshire BS mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Yorkshire BS mortgage from the register. Yorkshire BS, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Yorkshire BS has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Yorkshire BS has instructed the Land Registry to do so
