My solicitor has identified a a problem with the lease for the apartment we are buying in Toddington. The other side have put forward defective title insurance as a solution. We are content with insurance and will cover the costs. Our conveyancing practitioner says that he must be satisfied that the mortgage company is content with this solution. Are we the client or is the mortgage company ?
The short answer to your last question is that, notwithstanding the potential for a conflict of interest, you and the lender are the client. Your solicitor 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 conveyancer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.
