My lawyer has uncovered a defect with the lease for the property we are purchasing in Wisbech. The seller’s lawyers have put forward defective title insurance as a solution. We are happy with insurance and will cover the costs. Our conveyancing practitioner has advised that he must be satisfied that the mortgage company is content with this solution. Are we the client or is the lender?
The short answer to your last question is that, notwithstanding the risk of a conflict of interest, you and the mortgage company are the client. Your conveyancer 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 mortgage company 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 conveyancing practitioner will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.

I have recentlybeen informed that Arc property Solicitors have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Wisbech for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 10 months ago. How can I be sure that the property is in my name in the name of the former proprietor?
The quickest way to see if the property is in your name, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Wisbech conveyancing specialists.
I have been on the look out for a flat up to £245,000 and identified one close by in Wisbech I like with a park and railway links nearby, the downside is that it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Wisbech in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a home loan that many years may be problematic. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you may ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
My husband and I are new on the property ladder - agreed a price, but the selling agent has warned us that the seller will only issue a contract if we instruct the agent's preferred solicitors as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a family conveyancer used to conveyancing in Wisbech
It is unlikely the owners are behind this. Should the seller want ‘a quick sale', alienating a serious purchaser is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Try to communicate with the vendors directly and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you have nothing to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you intend to appoint your own,trusted Wisbech conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will provide their negotiator at the agency a commission or meet his conveyancing thresholds set by senior management.
