My solicitor has uncovered a a legal deficiency with the lease for the flat we are purchasing in Barrow Upon Soar. The other side have put forward defective title insurance as a workaround. We are happy with insurance and will cover the costs. Our solicitor has advised that he must ensure that the mortgage company is happy with this solution. Who is the client here, us or the mortgage company ?
The short answer to your last question is that, notwithstanding the risk of a conflict of interest, you and the lender are the client. Your solicitor 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 solicitor will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.

It is not clear whether my bank requires a lease extension. I have telephoned my Barrow Upon Soar bank branch on a couple of occasions and was told it does not impact the mortgage offer and they will lend.

The property lawyer has to comply with the CML Handbook section two requirements for your bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
