My solicitor has uncovered a a problem with the lease for the apartment we are purchasing in Armthorpe. The other side have offered defective title insurance as a workaround. We are content with insurance and will pay for it. Our lawyer has advised that he must be satisfied that the bank is content with this solution. Are we the client or is the mortgage company ?
Even though you have a mortgage offer from the bank does not mean to say that the property will meet their requirements 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 mortgage company are the client. The appropriate lender specifications have to be complied with.
This question may be naive but I am wet behind the ears as FTB of a two bedroom flat in Armthorpe. Do I receive the keys to the house on the completion date from my conveyancer? If this is the case, I will appoint a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Armthorpe?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will transfer the completion advance to the owner’s solicitors, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be able to collect the keys from the Estate Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.
