Our conveyancer has uncovered a defect with the lease for the flat we are purchasing in East Beckton. 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 check that the bank is happy with this solution. Who is the client here, us or the bank?
Regardless of the fact that you have a mortgage offer from the bank does not mean to say that the property will meet their specifications for the purposes of a mortgage. Your lawyer has to ensure that the lease has to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook provisions. You and the mortgage company are the client. These conveyancing instructions have to be complied with.

Planning on purchasing a flat in East Beckton.

I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the East Beckton lawyer is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel.

The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in East Beckton.
