My conveyancer has discovered a a problem with the lease for the flat we are purchasing in Holmrook. The seller’s lawyers have suggested defective title insurance as a solution. We are content with insurance and will pay for it. Our solicitor has advised that he must ensure that the bank is willing to move forward with this solution. Who is the client here, us or the mortgage company ?
The short answer to your last question is that, notwithstanding the risk of a conflict of interest, you and the bank are the client. Your property lawyer 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 conveyancing practitioner will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.

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 Holmrook conveyancer is on the Skipton conveyancing panel.
