I can't travel far from Rushden. I would like to know the reason why all Rushden solicitors are not on all lender panels?
Even though it may seem unfair for mortgage companies to limit who can represent them, from the public’s or conveyancer’s standpoint, the other side of the coin is that lenders are becoming ever more anxious and feel it necessary to protect them against mortgage fraud. As a consequence of this concern banks are limiting their conveyancing panel to a manageable size.
My conveyancer has uncovered a defect with the lease for the apartment we are buying in Rushden. The seller’s lawyers have offered title insurance as a solution. We are content with insurance and will cover the costs. 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 bank?
The short answer to your last question is that, notwithstanding the risk of a conflict of interest, you and the lender are the client. Your conveyancer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook provisions. The UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions require your lawyer to disclose issues such as defects with the lease so that the bank 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 conveyancing practitioner will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.
