My lawyer has identified a a problem with the lease for the flat we are purchasing in Woburn Sands. The seller’s lawyers have put forward title insurance as a solution. We are content with insurance and will cover the costs. Our lawyer has advised that he must ensure that the mortgage company is content with this solution. Who is the client here, us or the lender?
The short answer to your last question is that, notwithstanding the risk of a conflict of interest, you and the bank 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 lender 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 solicitor will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.
