My lawyer has uncovered a a problem with the lease for the property we are purchasing in Gedling. The other side have offered defective title insurance as a workaround. We are content with insurance and will pay for it. Our lawyer says that he must ensure that the mortgage company is happy with this solution. Who is the client here, us or the bank?
Notwithstanding 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 specifications. You and the mortgage company are the client. The appropriate lender conditions have to be complied with.
We wish to acquire a 1 bedroom flat in Gedling with a residential mortgage from Barclays .We would like to retain our Gedling conveyancing lawyer but Barclays advised that he's not listed on their approved list of member firms. It seems we are left with little choice but to instruct a Barclays panel lawyer or keep our preferred solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to represent them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. The mortgage issued to you contains various provisions, one of which will be that solicitors needs to be on the Barclays solicitor panel. in the past, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Barclays

Nowadays there are copies made of almost everything, and your solicitor should be aware exactly where to locate all the suitable documentation so you may purchase or sell your house without a hitch. If copies can’t be located, your solicitor may be able to put in place insurance or indemnities against possible claims on your property.
