My conveyancer has identified a a problem with the lease for the property we are purchasing in Bedmond. The other side have put forward title insurance as a solution. We are content with insurance and will pay for it. Our solicitor has advised that he must be satisfied that the lender is happy with this solution. Who is the client here, us or the lender?
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 conveyancing practitioner must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements. The UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions require your lawyer to disclose issues such as defects with the lease so that the mortgage company 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.

I am the sole beneficiary of my late father’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Bedmond. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in October. I plan to dispose of the property. I understand that there is a CML 6 month 'rule', which means that my property ownership may be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the property in October. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The CML handbook mandates conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you may be impacted by that. many banks would take a practical view as this provision is chiefly there to capture the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of property.
