My lawyer has uncovered a defect with the lease for the apartment we are buying in Shard End. The other side have put forward defective title insurance as a workaround. We are happy with insurance and will cover the costs. Our property lawyer says that he must be satisfied that the bank is content with this solution. Are we the client or is 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.

How does conveyancing in Shard End differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Shard End contact us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is constructed. This is because house builders in Shard End typically buy the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Shard End or who has acted in the same development.
