Our lawyer has discovered a a problem with the lease for the flat we are purchasing in Wisbech. The other side have put forward title insurance as a workaround. We are content with insurance and will pay for it. Our lawyer has advised that he must check that the bank is content with this solution. Are we the client or is the lender?
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 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 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.

- Carry on with your preferred Wisbech lawyers but Nottingham Building Society will need to instruct a solicitor on their list of acceptable firms. This will result in additional total legal charges as well as cause delays.
- Find an alternative solicitor to act in the purchase, obviously checking they are on the Nottingham Building Society panel
