My solicitor has discovered a a legal deficiency with the lease for the apartment we are buying in Stallingborough. The other side have suggested title insurance as a solution. We are happy with insurance and will pay for it. Our solicitor has advised that he must ensure that the bank is content 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 lender are the client. Your conveyancing practitioner must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements. The UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions require your lawyer to disclose issues such as defects with the lease so that the lender 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.
When does exchange of contracts take place for residential conveyancing in Stallingborough and do I need to attend the lawyers office?
If you are local to our conveyancing solicitors in Stallingborough you are welcome to come in to sign contracts. That being said, the lender approved solicitors we work with supply a nationwide conveyancing service and provide as equally detailed and professional a job for you when communicating with you by post or email. The executing of the property agreement is not the point of no return. A signed contract is just a prerequisite for the firm to officially exchange when the time is right, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The exchange process is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a lengthy "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Stallingborough)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

Unless a previous purchase of the house took place after 12 October 2013 you could expect solicitors conducting conveyancing in Stallingborough to continue to propose a a chancel search and or chancel repair liability insurance.
