My conveyancer has identified a defect with the lease for the flat we are purchasing in Bromborough. The seller’s lawyers have put forward defective title insurance as a solution. We are happy with insurance and will pay for it. Our conveyancing practitioner has advised that he must ensure that the lender is happy with this solution. Who is the client here, us or the mortgage company ?

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.
