Our solicitor has uncovered a a problem with the lease for the flat we are buying in Kingsley. The seller’s lawyers have put forward title insurance as a workaround. We are happy with insurance and will pay for it. Our conveyancer says that he must be satisfied that the mortgage company is willing to move forward with this solution. Who is the client here, us or the lender?

I am looking for a flat up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Kingsley I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 49 years on the lease.

Should you need a home loan the shortness of the lease may be problematic. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you can request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
