I am told that my conveyancing solicitors will need to check that the building insurance when buying a house in Addiscombe. My lender is Nationwide Building Society
Nationwide Building Society have specific requirements as set out in the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook. As of 31/3/2026, the requirements read as follows :
My bid for a property was accepted at auction in Addiscombe. Conveyancing is required. What is next?
Now that you are legally committed yourself to purchase you will need to retain a conveyancing lawyer soon as you will have a tight a drop dead date to complete the property. Every auction property will have an associated auction pack. This will likely include evidence of title and search results. In the case of leasehold premises the auction pack may include a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and other conveyancing paperwork specific to a leasehold property. You should hand this to the solicitor working for you at the earliest opportunity. You also need to ensure that your finances are organised to complete on the date specified in the contract.
I am due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in May 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Nottingham are being difficult. The Addiscombe solicitor who is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Nottingham are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Nottingham have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Nottingham have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Nottingham may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
Planning on purchasing a flat in Addiscombe. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
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 Addiscombe property lawyer is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel.
I note that there are debates on Chancel Insurance on online forums. Am I compelled to take this when buying a property in Addiscombe? or Apparently there is historic law that means some house owners residing in a parish church boundary will be compelled to contribute towards maintenance towards the chancel in proximity to the church. Is this suitable for conveyancing in Addiscombe?
Unless a previous acquisition of the property took place after 12 October 2013 you may expect lawyers carrying out conveyancing in Addiscombe to remain recommending a chancel search and or insurance against a claim.
I used Action Conveyancing a few years ago for my conveyancing in Addiscombe. Now, I need my files however the law firm has closed. What do I do?

I have recently realised that I have 72 years unexpired on my lease in Addiscombe. I need to extend my lease but my freeholder is absent. What options are available to me?
If you qualify, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the County Court for for permission to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will mean that your lease can be lengthened by the magistrate. However, you will be required to prove that you or your lawyers have made all reasonable attempts to locate the freeholder. In some cases an enquiry agent should be helpful to carry out a search and to produce an expert document which can be used as proof that the landlord is indeed missing.

Notwithstanding our best efforts, we have been unsuccessful in trying to purchase the freehold in Addiscombe. Can this matter be resolved via the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal?
