My solicitor has uncovered a a legal deficiency with the lease for the property we are purchasing in Perranporth. The seller’s lawyers have suggested title insurance as a workaround. We are happy with insurance and will pay for it. Our lawyer has advised that he must ensure that the bank 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 potential for a conflict of interest, you and the bank are the client. Your conveyancing practitioner 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 conveyancing practitioner will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.
