My lawyer has discovered a a problem with the lease for the apartment we are purchasing in Crowle. The other side have suggested defective title insurance as a solution.

Notwithstanding that you have a mortgage offer from the lender does not mean to say that the property will meet their conditions for the purposes of a mortgage. Your lawyer has to ensure that the lease has to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements. You and the lender are the client. These conveyancing instructions must be adhered to.
When does exchange of contracts occur in residential conveyancing in Crowle and do I need to be at the conveyancers branch?
Where you are in close proximity to our conveyancing solicitors in Crowle you are welcome to attend to sign the paperwork. That being said, the firms we work with provide countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give as equally detailed and professional a job for you when dealing with you digitally. The signing of the contract is not the important part. A signed contract is just a prerequisite for the solicitor to address the formalities when the time is right, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The procedure is is usually a five minute process, although where a lengthy "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Crowle)to be in the office at the appropriate time.
We're in Crowle, First time buyers buying with a mortgage (lender is Principality , and our lawyer is on the Principality conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the Principality conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no conveyancer should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.
I am buying a new build house in Crowle with a mortgage from Skipton Building Society. The developers would not move on the price so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The sale representative advised me not inform my lawyer about this deal as it may affect my loan with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

The particular law that you refer to affords a safeguard to business lessees, giving them the dueness to apply to court for a continuation of occupancy at the end of the lease term. There are limited grounds that a landlord can refrain from granting a lease renewal and the rules are complex. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing.
