My solicitor has discovered a a legal deficiency with the lease for the apartment we are buying in Dalston. The seller’s lawyers have suggested title insurance as a workaround. We are content with insurance and will pay for it. Our lawyer says that he must check that the mortgage company is happy with this solution. Are we the client or is the lender?

The short answer to your last question is that, notwithstanding the potential for a conflict of interest, you and the mortgage company are the client. Your conveyancer 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 conveyancer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.

If you intend to refinance then Aldermore will insist on your using a conveyancer on the Aldermore conveyancing panel.

Your Aldermore conveyancing panel solicitor pays the new mortgage money into the estate, the estate pays off the old mortgage, the charge is released and you become the owner and the Aldermore mortgage is registered as a charge at the Land Registry.
