I am hoping to complete my purchase in Baguley next Thursday. I have now been asked to send a copy of my building insurance schedule by my solicitor as he says that he has to check this in his capacity as lawyer for the lender. What risks does the mortgage company expect the insurance to cover?
All property lawyers on acting for lenders would need to check that the following risks are covered fire; lightning; aircraft; explosion; earthquake; storm; flood; escape of water or oil; riot; malicious damage; theft or attempted theft; falling trees and branches and aerials; subsidence; heave;landslip;collision;accidental damage to underground services;professional fees, demolition and site clearance costs; and public liability to anyone else. There are some other issues such as the level of excess that are set out in a lender’s UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook instructions. These obligations are not specific to conveyancing in Baguley.
As someone unfamiliar with conveyancing in Baguley what’s the number one tip you can give me for the ownership transfer in Baguley
Not many law firms shout this from the rooftops but conveyancing in Baguley or throughout England and Wales is an adversarial experience. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there exists lots of opportunity for friction between you and other parties involved in the legal transfer of property. For instance, the seller, selling agent and even potentially the mortgage company. Selecting a lawyer for your conveyancing in Baguley an important selection as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY party in the transaction whose interest is to act in your legal interests and to protect you.
Every so often a potential adversary may try and sway you that you should follow their advice.

Or your financial adviser may advise you to do take action that is against your lawyers recommendation.

It has been 3 months following my purchase conveyancing in Baguley concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £170,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Baguley is the location of the property. Can you offer any opinion?
Flying freeholds in Baguley are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Baguley you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy.

If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
