My solicitor has identified a a problem with the lease for the apartment we are buying in Urmston. The other side have put forward title insurance as a workaround. We are content with insurance and will pay for it. Our solicitor says that he must check that the bank is willing to move forward with this solution. Who is the client here, us or the lender?
Even though you have a mortgage offer from the mortgage company 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 provisions. You and the mortgage company are the client. The appropriate lender requirements must be adhered to.

Just acquired a semi-detached house in Urmston , how long should it take for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing the transfer to my name? My Urmston conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be sure the land registry aspects are concluded.
As far as conveyancing in Urmston is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can differ according to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry have to notify any third parties. As of today roughly 80% of such applications are completed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to longer hold-ups. Historically registration takes place after the buyer is living at the premises thus 'speed' is not typically primary concern yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor should contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
I'm purchasing my first flat in Urmston with a mortgage from Lloyds TSB Bank. The developers refused to budge the price so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The property agent suggested that I not to tell my solicitor about the extras as it may affect my loan with Lloyds TSB Bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
I wish to sublet my leasehold apartment in Urmston. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask him. Is permission from the freeholder required?
A small minority of properties in Urmston do contain a provision to say that subletting is only permitted with prior consent from the landlord. The landlord is not entitled to unreasonably refuse but, in such cases, they would need to review references. Experience dictates that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting permission.
