As unjust as it may appear for lenders to restrict who can act for them, from the public’s or conveyancer’s perspective, the flip side is that banks are becoming ever more anxious and regard it imperative to protect them against mortgage fraud. As a consequence of this concern mortgage companies are limiting their panel of approved conveyancing lawyers to a size that they are happy to control.
My conveyancer has identified a a legal deficiency with the lease for the flat we are buying in Wraysbury. The seller’s lawyers have offered title insurance as a solution.
