Our solicitor has identified a a problem with the lease for the apartment we are buying in Yarm On Tees. The seller’s lawyers have offered title insurance as a solution. We are happy with insurance and will pay for it. Our conveyancing practitioner says that he must check that the bank is willing to move forward with this solution. Who is the client here, us or the bank?
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 conveyancing practitioner must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications. 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 property lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.
At what point will exchange of contracts occur in sale conveyancing in Yarm On Tees and am I required to be at the lawyers office?
Where you are round the corner to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Yarm On Tees you are invited in to sign contracts. However, the firms we recommend provide a national conveyancing service and give just as diligent and professional a job for you when dealing with you by post or email. The executing of the contract is not the critical part. Signing on the dotted line simply enables the firm to officially exchange when the time is right, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The exchange process is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a long "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Yarm On Tees)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
