Our lawyer has discovered a a legal deficiency with the lease for the property we are purchasing in Winton. The other side have offered title insurance as a workaround. We are happy with insurance and will cover the costs. Our solicitor has advised that he must check that the lender is content with this solution. Who is the client here, us or the bank?
Notwithstanding that you have a mortgage offer from the lender does not mean to say that the property will meet their specifications for the purposes of a mortgage.

The appropriate lender conditions have to be complied with.
We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The bank mentioned the loan came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to instruct their panel solicitor as I would much rather instruct a specialised conveyancing solicitor in Winton?
You should check but the the probability is that appoint one of their panel lawyers where you want the "fee-free" incentive. Speak to the lender to determine if they make available a cash alternative. In the past a few lenders offered a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case you could put that amount towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor near Winton.
