Our conveyancer has uncovered a defect with the lease for the flat we are purchasing in Gnosall. The seller’s lawyers have put forward title insurance as a workaround. We are happy with insurance and will cover the costs. Our conveyancing practitioner says that he must be satisfied that the mortgage company is willing to move forward with this solution. Are we the client or is the bank?
Even though you have a mortgage offer from the lender does not mean to say that the property will meet their conditions for the purposes of a mortgage.

The appropriate lender requirements must be adhered to.
