My lawyer has identified a defect with the lease for the property we are buying in Wolverton. The seller’s lawyers have put forward defective title insurance as a solution. We are happy with insurance and will pay for it. Our solicitor says that he must be satisfied that the lender is happy with this solution. Are we the client or is the mortgage company ?
Even though 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. Your lawyer has to ensure that the lease has to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook provisions. You and the bank are the client. The appropriate lender requirements must be adhered to.
