The appropriate level of chancel indemnity insurance should be dictated by who your lender. It would differ for example between HSBC Bank and Bank of Scotland. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to borrowers take out such insurances.

We previously instructed conveyancers based in Barnoldswick on the HSBC solicitor approved list. They have just invoiced me a further charge for the legal aspects of the HSBC mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by HSBC?

I can not work out if my bank obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called my Barnoldswick building society branch on numerous occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they would lend. My Barnoldswick conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they refuse to lend in accordance with their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. Who do I believe?

Provided that the conveyancing practitioner is on the mortgage company panel, she or he must comply with the CML Handbook conditions for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
