Our lawyer has identified a a problem with the lease for the apartment we are buying in Upper Walthamstow. The other side have suggested title insurance as a solution. We are content with insurance and will pay for it. Our conveyancing practitioner says that he must check that the mortgage company is willing to move forward 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 bank are the client. Your solicitor 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 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.

After months of negotiation I have agreed a price on an apartment in Upper Walthamstow. My financial adviser recommended their conveyancers. I paid an on account payment of £225. Shortly after, the conveyancing practitioner called me to say that they were not on the RBS conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the RBS panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
I have instructed a Upper Walthamstow conveyancer having checked that they are on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
Clydesdale will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Clydesdale will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Upper Walthamstow surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.
I am downsizing from our property in Upper Walthamstow and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. Any high street Upper Walthamstow lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers instructed a web based conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Upper Walthamstow. Having lived in Upper Walthamstow for six years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to obtain clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor already. What do they say? You should enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same illness)
I have todaybecome aware that Stirling Law have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Upper Walthamstow for a purchase of a leasehold flat 9 months ago. How can I check that the property is registered correctly in the name of the previous owner?
